move 14?? castel
Cute Guioco Piano Trap
Harry,
After 12.Qe1 (instead of 12.Qd2), I would play 12...Nd4 13.Nd2 Rxd8, threatening 14...Ne2+ next move. If I play 13...Ne2+ first, White will play 14.Ne6, theatening 15.Nxc7, forkling my king and rook. But 13...Rxd8 threatens 14...Ne2 15.Qxe2 Bxe2 and if the rook moves, then 16...Bxf2 mate. If 16.hxg3 instead of a rook move, then 16...Nh5 and 17...Nxg3 wins more material, or just play 16...Bxf1.
KingLeopold fell for this trap in the Budapest
that was sneaky ingin move
I only ever see the Guico Piano from White. not a fan of traps but I'm in a quandary...does anyone know any traps in the Giuco Piano from White?
Why would black play 8...h5? Makes no sense.
Probably because it's strong, as the game clearly shows.
Yeah, there's a bunch of traps in the Guioco.
The move Bg5 (or ... Bg4 by Black) works a lot better after the opponent has castled.

O-O or Na5 would have been better. If you are going to move an outside pawn as black a5 or a6 would be better.
0-0 seems natural but is kind of contradictory to black's previous moves: he indicates white's Bg5 was premature since black hadn't castled yet, making the pawn storm on the kingside possible.
Na5 indeed looks like a move, but it doesn't threaten to immediately trap a piece as ... h5 does, so it's less forcing.
This is one of those games where you have seen the trap before (a Queen and Knight sacrifice that leads to checkmate), but have never played it and wonder if you would ever get to play it on someone who hasn't seen it. I played a known trap in a blitz game that's cute and a good lesson for anyone trying to play the Giuoco Piano. Don't fall into this trap as White and know it as Black if you play this opening.
