NICE TRAP

I forgot the name of this trap, but I saw it not long ago, and when the position arised in a game, I tried it. And won!

wow.

How come you left your queen open for attack? If he saw the trap you'd lose

no because if he'd capture my knight, then id capture his bishop, leaving it equal

I thought it was called Legals mate...wasn't sure though

just thinking the same thing zupampa

I think its called the fried liver.I saw this on chessmasters josh waitzkins acadamy and i'm pretty sure thats what he called it.

i pulled this off a couple of days ago too

feels good

Like most traps, it's a risk.  Quick mate if they fall for it, weakened position for you if they don't.

This is the fried liver attack.
