that is satisfying. most people at this level would take that queen thinking the opponent had blundered 
ITS A TARP!!!

It depends on a time control. In longer games, some would still take it without thinking of course, mesmerized by the beauty of the black queen 
, but as this move blunders a back rank mate in 1, most of the people ranked around 1 200 would see it.

Fischer was fond of back rank kills, and said that even very good players miss them and spent a lot of time on it in one of his books (can't recall which but he had a whole big chunk about it). Nice setup, but what you should do now is ask yourself, and then the engine, whether the move was a GOOD MOVE if your opponent did not take that queen? What is your next move in that scenario? I know you ran it out with the engines, but maybe actually play vs the computer from there, if you have not. Black is way ahead, thx to the rook drop, so it should be a won game

Post #8 - It's very tarpy...
Interesting, really love the concept of traps
Tarps are absolutely insane
Greed kills. I play black.
