That's "Hope Chess"... playing a blunder in the hope that your opponent will answer it with a blunder of his own. A line that gives away a piece for nothing isn't brilliant.

This is how you play the Legal trap WITHOUT giving away your Knight:

Yes, never forget the move 5.h3! Otherwise you are lost. Blacks best answer then is Bxf3. But in normal positions mostly it´s better to retreat the bishop to pin that knight longer and not exchanging the bishop for the knight. So you can "hope" that your opponent makes the blunder. That ist a kind of "hope chess" that is ok, because if your opponent makes the best decision you are still a little bit better (as white). Had one game that ended with the legals mate. But can´t find it. Unfortunately Philodors Defence is not listet in the opening-surch-list of the statistics.

Not as old as the lucena position for example (1634 vs 1876) and not every chess player knows it. wink.png
