It's amazing how many players can't see even one move ahead.
White played extremely badly in those games, wasting time with Qh5 and Be2. Black can play any move and will be completely equal.
Why you should NEVER play the Barnes defense!

There's a similar "trap" in the bird's opening.

"The bird's opening" is actually Bird's opening. Named after Henry Bird.
