Do You see, Mackenzie? You should not apply definitions dogmatically.
You are right in trying to play gambits at Your age. But You should train a lot to acquire tactical prowess and positional understanding to be able to ascertain why a non-book is inferior to a book move.

"The term chess trap refers to a move which may tempt the opponent to play a losing move."

This definition is okay, but maybe too rigid or dogmatic. A more flexible, permissive definition would be better in this case.

sry i thought youll understand

Avatar of szaszzo66

I understood the definition alright. I just -- sort of disagree -- with it. The Scotch Game/Gambit is interesting, very rich in tactical possibilities and loaded with many pitfalls. Thus, I think, such a narrow definition -- although technically correct -- is not necessarily useful.
