Trap in the Guioco Piano?
Sort:
I've actually fallen to something similiar to the last one, but it was a two knights variation. My first blitz tournament ever, just a few weeks after I registered in my otb club. Had a rating of 1000 at the time, and went up against a player rated about 2350+ (FIDE rating).
And he did it all in pretty much 30 second, made me feel pretty stupid.

You would have seen the trap in slow play. Blitz play against a 2350+ opponent. Geez!
Traps remind me of a tactic in chess called a decoy. Here is one example.
This kind of stuff scares me in fast blitz play. Be honest. Would you capture White's rook in a fast internet game? I probably would, but ouch!
Would you consider this a trap in the Guioco Piano, or just a case of poor play by White?
