@shivank in opening there are no forced trap tricks, yes if your opponant not aware about the trap and he/ she fall in trap it can work , but if the opponant knows abnout trap no force trap in opening works.

If there are any opening with forced trap all GMs/ IMs/ FMs plays that only, but as we know they dont go for any perticular opening, it itself proves that there are no such opening you can force your opponant in trap.

lewis gambit, max lange ,italian kotlanwiski varition ,

  1. The OP wants to know about traps in the QGA, not other openings.
  2. There is no such thing as a "force" trap.

TheBlunderfulPlayer

No problem!

i know you not heard about forced trap but if we play a trap and any move is useless [hopeless] then it can be called force trap too.

TheBlunderfulPlayer

My point is that you can't "force" your opponent into a trap.

QGA  and QGD are queen's gambit accepted and declined - standard opening.

These traps have been sprung on master, I M;S. WORLD CHAMPIONS.

AND THEY ARE WAY OVER 1700. READ ON. 300 WINNING CHESS TRAPS.

It has 95 TRAPS, 1. e4 e5,

               2. nf3 nc6 openings. 

               52 Ruy Lopez.

               3 Knights,

               4 knights,

               Scotch Gambits,

               Scotch Games,

               Guicco Pianos,

               Evans Gambits,

              Max Lange Attacks,

              Philidor Defense

              2 Knights defense,

               Ponziani Openings

and so many more.

Then it goes into 60 other e4 openings

and other than standard replies. 

It covers 80 traps for Queen openings mostly declined.

The D4 without a D5 reply.

At the end, one Reti and one English opening.

I scanned the back of the book at the alphabetical I found two entries in my hand writing, which I recognize but I don't remember doing.

I have never studied all these opening but now I will. Even though theses are not standard new used openings. Some come back into fashion. Even though players I will be playing won't know these, I will.

So watch out when you play me. I might just try one of these 300 short traps on you.

This whole book is 308 pages. Page one is trap # one. Page 300 has trap # 300.

In the "forward" it list the Master that beat other masters who were taken in by these traps. Even the World Champion have fallen for these traps.

Master that were walking Encyclopedia on opennings fell for the same traps that they sprung on other Master. Now, that is funny.

Here is the list that Chernev listed.

Capablanca Trap # 260. Reuben Fine fell for trap # 227. Burochow Sprung trap # 145 on Reuben Fine.

Akiba Rubenstein fell for trap #  222 sprung by Euwe.

Tartakover an authority on opening play was taken in by Reti with trap # 154 He also lost to trap # 170,

Speilman lost to Botvinnik to trap # 157. Sieberg Tarrasch was taken in by trap # 267. Euwe lost twice to Reti who used # 88 and #291. Marshall lost to trap # 18 to Steiner.

Grunfeld the walking encyclopedia on opennings lost to trap # 217 to Bogolyubov.

This is just a partial list of Master play traps. If all these can fall for them, how hard would it be for the mere mortal chess players that you all face all the time?

These traps average 14 moves at the most.

Find the book I have two of them.

You can't just go looking for more obscure traps to beat people at higher rating levels. Generally speaking they calculate and don't fall for silly tricks. They're better because ... well, they play better. And looking for opening traps is not a good way to study or play.

the reason y i asked for traps is i should not fall into trap if i am unaware of it becoz my calculation is not so long .so if i know some traps i can survive a bit longer :)
