Not really a trap - f4 is more an inexplicable blunder!

Crazyhouse is a chess variant. When a player captures a piece, the player can then use that piece himself/herself as his own by dropping it on an unoccupied square. If you click on 'play' on the left side of the screen, you'll see on the right side a list of the different variants available to play and the rules of how to play.

I used to play the Bowdler attack until someone told me it was unsound. I guess this is why.

This was fun. No theory, no errors (On my side. ok, there was a faster mate...)

Did you really calculate this all as 1500? I clap my hands.

I guess black didn't get the memo about 4...Qg5!

Me neither, but that's more of a !?

I was expecting and welcoming 4...Nh6, which I find is meant to be the "best" move, not 4...Qg5.

Against 4...Qg5 I think I would have found 5. Bxf7+ and 6. d4, when white is well ahead even if black has something to do.

The sacrifice of the knight on move 9 was the most fun move. I relied on the king being in big trouble way out on c4, but the analysis was just to see that after Qxe6+ black could not block.

The pawn sac 11. b4+ was played planning the easy sacrifice 12. Ba3+ (acceptance is mate in 1) but it seems the less flashy 12. Rb1+ was more efficient. Both win, so not important.

Basically the result of getting to 40 on 5 minute Puzzle Rush. 😁
