Games where trickery backfires

There is a whole book about this, quite well written really.

"Chess Traps, Pitfalls, & Swindles", IA Horowitz & Fred Reinfeld.

What about 13. Bxf7 Kf8 14. Bh6 mate?

I do not understand, where is the trick? It looks just like horrid play on whites part...

It shows ^

Anyhow, you went wrong when you hung your queen.

celgos> Show us your games where either someone or yourself obviously went into the game with some quick trick and got beaten brutally.

celgos> 3.Qxc5 - What's this? Trickery?

If anything, 2.Qh5?! was the trappy move. He attacked your c-pawn and there were a couple ways to defend it, besides counter-attacking ideas like 2...Nf6 3.Qxc5 Nxe4. Nothing tricky about 2...b6? (hanging a pawn) 3.Qxc5 and White has a nice advantage that should give him all the winning chances (but much work remains).

4.Qa3? - Why retreat thee queen to another vulnerable but also out-of-the-way square? A developing move like 4.Nf3 makes more sense.

5.Qf3? - White is being silly with these time-wasting queen moves. I think you have compensation now for the pawn.

6.Bc4 - Hoping for a quick mate? At least White is developing a piece.

7.b3?? - White hangs his queen. White would be fine after 7.Qe2 Nxc4 8.Qxc4.

12...d6?? - A colossal blunder by Black. 13.Bxf7! Kf8 14.Bh6# and game-over. Neither player can spot a mate-in-2, or considers all CHECKS and CAPTURES.

13.Bb5+?? - The final blunder. White never gets another chance.
