Not really because the worked (only a few times), but because you start to understand some principles and mistakes. Right now I compete with ~1400...1600 players and that the level where they will not fall for the traps... So you have to modify them ;)

[@andrewthuswaldner1268]

Hey Kevin, thanks for posting these videos. I have two questions about the Lasker trap. 1) why doesn't the king take the pawn on f2? 2) Two moves later the pawn is promoted to a knight and for some reason the rook doesn't take the knight on g1. I don't understand why. Thanks, Andrew

[@chesswebsite]

If the king takes the pawn on f2 then his queen would fall on d1. The king is the only defender of that piece right now. On the second question if the rook takes the knight then black can play bishop to g4+ winning the queen.

[@michaelogden4626]

I had the same question 2) about the rook not taking failing to notice that the king was on the same diagonal as the queen. Love how that was so obvious to the guy giving the lesson that he didn't even mention. This is why I'm not very good at chess!

How do people use these traps whenever I try them the opponents move some other chess piece which are not mentioned in the trap.

[@oscarspears5771]

When we say experience counts, we don't mean that through experience you can win every game. Same applies here, knowing and applying these traps is like having experience, which in turn helps you to become more familiarized with common and uncommon openings as well as such traps. Trust me, you're better off knowing these little traps than not. I always apply these openings and most times not even exactly, but the same idea. These openings are based on your opponest's best likely respones, and you'll be surprised just how many, even very good chess players, fall for this.

[@stranded8088]

"No plan survives contact with the enemy." Expect the unexpected, oftentimes the less experienced chess players will NOT fall for these, since they will not plan their counter-moves mathematically correctly, and this is also a great tactic to use in chess. Be random and chaotic, sacrifice every fucking piece on the board so your opponent will not be able to know what to expect or how to counter-attack. Works wonders. Higher elo players play mathematically, rather than creatively, that's why they tend to fall for these traps ironically. I've seen it in my circle of friends several times, such a fun game.

Personally I've pulled of the legal trap more often when I skip moving my pawn to H3. Something about moving it there has just always caused the opponent to just take the knight

[@charlieszymanska6085]

same for me I pulled it off yesterday without h3

[@PhilNiMK]

It can work like that, yes, but you should know that h3 is actually mandatory, because if, instead of playing h3, you play Knight to e5 directly, then black, if he pays attention, can capture your knight with his Knight that stands on c6, while you can't take his Bishop with your Queen, because his Knight (being on e5 now) will cover for the Bishop, thus putting you in a disadvantage in both material and development. But yeah, I guess most Black players won't pay attention because of the free queen...

Paul Googol I disagree with this. Traps show you creative ways to win games and you can reuse these patterns in different situations. And if they don’t work, you still need skill to win. But if you think otherwise, that’s ok. I see where you are coming from. If a really bad player is in a higher rated league just because they know lots of traps, that’s not fair for them or their opponents.

[@paulgoogol2652]

@@benshaw5382 Beside the Albin countergambit (a joke to call the Queens Gambit a gambit anyway) the traps look cheap and if you faced them, they should not be a problem. The legals mate is just a plain blunder not developing the kingside in a sharp bishop opening type position.

[@paulgoogol2652]

I said the Albins is interesting but 4.e3 is just a well known blunder so I would not include it as opening preparation. Just remember it is not playable and you will never forget it cause of the rare underpromotion theme.The fishing pole is interesting to reinforce an active piece and build up pressure but it depends on the preparation and followup if it is a dumb idea or not.

[@vit9480]

Or just remember the fundamental basics of openings, to gain centre control and develop your pieces, not take opponent’s gambited pieces and waste tempo resulting in opponent being able to equalise in tempo as black pieces. Suddenly, 90% of these traps don’t work. Giving back material is also a good mindset to refute these traps, grandmasters don’t play gambits and don’t fall for these traps so only beginners chess is memorizing traps.

Cause knight can block the way by nf3

[@jiteshchhoda1782]

Exactly why would white make 2 consecutive blunders in Lasker trap

[@iankingston480]

I will have to review these traps way to go!

[@mountainslopes]

You have no idea how much I'm grateful you upload quare videos without letterboxing

[@chesswebsite]

Glad you like them!

[@loststar8622]

Alright now everyone knows traps so each game we will try to trap each other.

Im only here because of The Queens Gambit on Netflix.

[@jannisarie]

I just used the blackburn shilling and it was good. So many people try to use the fried liver attack that its something really good to keep in your back pocket.

[@chesswebsite]

Agreed. It's a good one.

[@solechannel6338]

Thank you brother

[@midimusicforever]

Instead of pawn to G3, wouldn't bishop to G5 be a really interesting option as well? (last trap)

[@ruinedbens]

This is late but the bishop is blocked

[@leosamonin3913]

10:35 I was thinking of bishop to c5 with check, and the only move is to block with queen

[@biffslamchunk5055]

What about nd3 in response?

[@leosamonin3913]

biff slamchunk your in check, you can not make that move

[@selvaganapathy6692]

Very good enjoyed it

[@SonGoku-xz4zv]

Very good video, thanks a lot

[@teensvoices5338]

my favorite is the legal trap but quick question...In the lasker trap, why can't the rook just capture the knight on G1? Anyways you should also add up the fried liver attack. It's awesome

[@generestillore5666]

If he chose capturing the knight by the move Rook to g1, White's queen will be taken after Bishop to g4

[@grosshennig]

2:17 - what if the knight moves to g4? Isn't that safe for white?

[@aayush4839]

Exactly my question

[@adolphvil2]

If black plays d4 then pawn in attacking the bishop and c8 bishop is attacking the knight so you will be up a piece

[@LLO227]

Well done, actually 👏 good traps

[@mohinmohin3566]

legal trap and fishing trap s awesome

[@DouglasWright]

The Traxler rebuttal to the Fried Liver is nice. I use it a lot. It can be sharp sometimes though. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 Bc5 5. Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6. Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7. Kf1 Qh4

[@merzbowbb]

Legal trap: 0:51 Blackburne Shilling Gambit trap: 1:58 Elephant trap: 4:16 Lasker trap: 5:35 Englund trap: 7:52 Fishing Pole trap: 9:50
