I enjoyed the video! I've never fallen for this particular trap, since playing that aggressively early on isn't really my style. I'd sooner defend my pawn than attack another that early on.

There are definitely a lot of early opening traps that get people who are unfamiliar with them or not paying close attention. I lost to Scholar's mate a couple days ago(Still sad about that!), and I knew about it beforehand.

 

Thanks again for the video!
