Sicilian Defense Trap

#chess #shorts

[@maxitrx]

This is actually a really useful one

[@casparadams5204]

"Here is a checkmate in 43 moves if the opponent blunders their king"

[@Onestonedbake]

It's true, most players won't contest for center board

[@ethereal3679]

The only problem is that it’s a variation not played commonly in low elo, and a trap usually seen by high elo.

[@MM-bw8hg]

But why moving the bishop?

[@somerandomguy4216]

Probably just developing piece​@@MM-bw8hg

[@glamfreddy4984]

I have never taken that pawn cuz I know its a blunder

[@ic3yfr0ggy51]

I have

[@39buried0found5]

I read this as”I have never taken that pawn cuz I know it’s bladder”.

I have trapped at least 20 people with that trick and advanced variations of the same trick.

This only works if your opponent doesn't know how to play chess

[@onesecondmrproof6652]

No...?

[@MasterHydro]

​@@onesecondmrproof6652 it's true tbh. At 2000 elo u can't use this strat. Everyone knows more complicated stuff and also they can recognise what your trying to do

[@Florp3434]

​@@MasterHydro soo.. people below 2000 don't know how to play chess? Also you're*

[@kroccmocc4765]

@@MasterHydro when you say below 2000 elo it’s still a good trap, 90%+ people are below 2000 and the Sicilian defence is pretty common so you can use this 4/20 times (accounting for how many people play the Sicilian and how many people don’t fall for the trap

[@PolishChessPlayer]

if you know how to play chess you dont give free piece in 2 moves, and yes people below 2000 dont know how to play chess.

[@notdream2848]

This is rly useful tysm

[@No.00000]

Now what i expected when i searched "Defence of Sicily" but i still like it

[@Nevergonnaedit]

There’s a lot more traps in the slowed appin

[@CubeforFun]

The problem with traps is that they usually are in bad openings and no one falls for them.

[@jaytantoso4421]

Delayed alapin isnt necessarily bad

[@CubeforFun]

@@jaytantoso4421 d3 -> c2 is a way better square for the bishop than e2.

[@ww2qss584]

​@@CubeforFun that doesnt mean its bad sir

[@ww2qss584]

​@@CubeforFun also ive gotta say bd3 to bc2 is pretty innacurate

[@CubeforFun]

@@ww2qss584 C2 is a beautiful square for the bishop. Be2 forces Qc2 (if you want to play positionally by not playing e5) after Bd7, which weakens the d4 push.

[@Hav180]

If they wont take the pawn and opponent knows the line, you will end up with very bad position

[@NERD294]

It is like one of the ponziani traps

[@rentheredsquare]

I play the Sicilian Defense, although i do not go the most common. I use the knight to f3. (King's Knight F3)

[@lordcezar4657]

This might work cuz Your opponent wouldn't see the queen check immediately

[@georgebarker1894]

Finally, one that somewhat useful

[@idkbro1228]

This is similar to the Ponziani where you can win a knight as well

[@azureandnoir3274]

i did this accidentally and won i was trying to set up a castle wall haha and got a notification for a Sicilian defense 👏🏿

[@Julien-bn7tv]

This is the Ponziani Opening

[@iwnl_vale]

I always play sicilian, now I know.

[@sanlikestea]

me who plays the hyperaccelerated dragon:

[@buruhansda1404]

Opponent know the move😂😂

[@olayemiolusanya2106]

I would not have taken the pawn with my knight instead i would have pinned my opponent's knight.

[@solarx4166]

So your cringe? Got it.

[@averagejojofan8649]

That is not that great of a move because you would lose tempo and you can activate the queen

[@sam2276]

@@solarx4166 you don't know what cringe means

[@SeekGaming98416]

Did this chess move without knowing it exists 💀

[@andinenobais]

Thanks

[@mykonek.TF.]

THANKS

[@pathfindernutsinurface3296]

Is the bishop move just a filler move to make it their turn?

[@AhmedAlawdi_]

probably, but it’s isn’t the worst possible move since it puts him into the game.

[@replacekebab7669]

it also sorta looks like a miscalculation on whites part so maybe it looks like a blunder to black

[@CatSurfer]

@@replacekebab7669 It's theory

[@captainkarma7374]

Prepares for castle in case white doesn't take e4

You sound like Benson from regular show

[@blurr1903]

This isn’t an alapin

[@usibistro]

​@@blurr1903delayed alapin

[@aashisha2316]

No one above 800 would fall for that

[@jarodheap9169]

There are multiple master games that lost to this trap in my database

[@Pajonk33]

Imo its better to play moscow variation if the play d6

[@zombiebotnet343]

Learned this on chessable

[@Laptopdog78]

Trust me, a my level e4 does not get countered with c5, never mind all the counters that follow! So me trying this goes up in smoke after 2 moves! I am normally being attacked by a queen by the second move!!

[@sbubby4548]

Is Sicilian good in >1000 elo games? Ive seen many opponents play it, and then seem to not know what they are doing in the midgame

[@aaryansharmaa4019]

After winning knight i still lose.

[@bedrockcommander1924]

They didn't take the pawn

[@lord_toker]

And it threatens Qxb7!

[@mahdibawazir6503]

Whats the point for the bishop move?

[@kristienwhitney-johns5863]

What happened to the hip one

[@Dizzman_D]

All im tryna do is learn some black defense 😭😭😭

[@bondnikunj]

No as soon as queen path is free u know that check is an option. So no1 will fall for it

[@ww2qss584]

A lot of beginners will fall for this

[@ytrobin_gamer-9126]

i somehow got this position after this vid and after queen takes knight my opponent resinged lolll am a 300 player btw

[@groundedgaming]

Any other move that isn't bishop to c4 also works?

[@bigfgreatsword]

yeah

[@zelcat5794]

bishop c4 is the move for the trap though because it makes it look like a mouse slip, so the opponent is compelled to take it more

[@bigfgreatsword]

@@zelcat5794 What you mean is the Bishop e2, he's talking about the bishop block

[@zelcat5794]

@@bigfgreatsword ohhhhhhhhhh yea sorry

[@zelcat5794]

i just mixed up my squares but yes i meant Bishop e2, thanks for correcting me

[@NifftyGoStabStab]

If they block with queen do i take queen

Queen A4 is mate

K so no more premoving c3 d4

[@MrSmoothasf]

I don't understand the Bishop move? What is the purpose?

[@z4xarhis]

Same here! Lol

[@virgilijusbernikas1666]

So there is people who still plays sicilian?

[@soren5621]

I dont get it, how are you winning with this move ?

[@cesarguerrerojr.6200]

Why move the bishop?

[@Hav180]

To play random move, tempting the oppenent to capture the undefended pawn for the trap.

[@usibistro]

​@@Hav180and also preparing to castle short and fight back against the pin so basically a waiting move

[@smththax6190]

How bishep makes a Trap? I Just can't See the value He's making

[@frenzy2240]

Idk maybe setting up for a castle

[@axtrofax]

hi

[@randomname9291]

That ain’t a trap, just a simple defending of a pawn.

[@mashirokidz2395]

What is a trap then? 🤔

[@randomname9291]

@@mashirokidz2395 there’s a difference between a trap and a tactical defense. A proper trap would be something like, say, enticing your opponent to take a piece of yours so that you can sacrifice for mate. This is literally just a one move “trick” that defends your pawn.

[@Shad0wz101]

Surely it’s still a trap because the move bishop E2 doesn’t actually defend the pawn but if it’s taken then you win the knight?

[@averagejojofan8649]

@@randomname9291 traps ain’t always mate my guy

[@randomname9291]

@@averagejojofan8649 when did I say they’re always mate? Traps don’t have to be mate in the slightest, but this is literally just a simple 1100 level trick that almost no one would regard as a trap

*tries scholars mateand ruins the sicilian defense*

[@nezoxprime1848]

Silly trap

[@mateosmind751]

Common variation? I would never leave a check hanging in the opening. Common for 800 maybe?

[@onesecondmrproof6652]

Dude doesn't even know sicillian theory and is out here going "CoMmOn vAriAtion?!"

[@Mad_racc00n]

Obviously you've just never played the Sicilian. This is literally the most classic and common variation of it, also known as dragon variation.

[@usibistro]

​@@Mad_racc00nhow can someone play the Sicilian without knowing a single line of necessary theory?

[@seion5497]

Bishop move is not setting up any trap you can move anything and cross your fingers and hope your opponent doesn't see the fork and takes the pawn so yeahhhhhh not really a trap

Simplify and win the endgame. Keep taking pieces off the board until you decrease all of black's attempts to fight back.

[@kylefu3669]

You can even play queen captures b7 and get a free rook

[@nevermind-wp3bf]

This is Ponziani opening for white. I gues that's the solution against sicilian opening, not sicilian defense...
