[@jasonkuku3016]

19:48 the queen can escape to c5

[@AUDIONOIR100]

Another great video thanks Vlad. There's also this variation (much more rarer) White to open: Nf3, d5, e4, dxe4, Ng5, Qd5, d3, exd3, Bxd3, Qxg2 (falling for the trap) Be4 (1-0)

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thank you for the valuable add-on!

[@Thegameplayer69]

the answer to the puzzle at the end is Qh5 for anyone wondering. The reason is that the king will be forced to move to d8 and when it does, you can play ba5 pinning the queen to the king and winning it, and the queen cannot capture because the queen on h5 will take black queen that just took the bishop. if black tries to play g6 to misplace the queen so that it wouldn't protect a5, you can simply play bxg6 forcing the king to move anyway, then play ba5 again and win the queen

[@vladyslavkryvoruchko]

Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.

[@krishnateja7728]

I’ve been watching so many chess video lately from other KZbinrs to improve my game, and I’m very glad that I found yours. I don’t need to watch or search for anything else. There’s lot more to grasp from your lessons. Thanks for making these helpful videos.

[@jacobcisneros7731]

I love these trappy openings, always leads to interesting games for me. Rarely do they work but people take weird lines and the positions are wild

[@Zamiroh]

In trap 1 I rarely see h6, most opponents seem to develop their knight, which usually prevents the attack. I love these strats but so rarely do they line up.

[@satishkanetkar3684]

Really good video. Amazing tricks. Everyone needs to watch again and again these fantastic traps.

I love the comment he makes at @18:05 I learn so much watching this man!

[@Saltydog693]

Hi.I am a fan of your videos and I am a 800 rated Blitz player. On the first trap, here I must say that most players do not fall for it as the play 5.Nc6 in all of the games I playedc (and played a lot of them). 1.Nf3 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.d3 dxe3 5.Bxd3 Nc6!! protecting the Queen and developing a piece

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Certainly not everyone will fall for the trap. On that level, being a pawn down with some piece activity isn't too bad anyway.

The puzzle answer is Qh5+.After Kd8, you play Ba5 to pinning the queen to the king and we achieved our goal, winning a queen.

[@ronnie_17]

It can simply be avoided by pushing the pawn and attacking the queen

Qh5 check, if g6 then Bxg6 check, Kd8 is forced, Ba5 pinning the Queen to the trapped King taking the queen on the next move. if they play Kd8 immediately than you skip ahead to Ba5 pinning the queen. either way Bxb6 winning the Queen for a Bishop.

[@stromboli183]

Some fun strategies here! Question about the Tennison Gambit: at 0:55 what if instead of 3 ...Nf6, black plays Bf5?

[@rexoni2512]

If you are still wondering, there's a line where after Bf5, Nc3, Nf6, Qe2, Qd4,Qb5+(also attacking the bishop and the pawn at b7), Bd7,Qxb7, here you are about to win a rook, if the opponent go Bc6, you can go Qc8#. Now if after Qb5+, the opponent blocks with Qd7, Qxb7 still threatens to win a rook but after Qc6, you can't mate on c8 anymore because it is covered by the bishop, instead you can go Bb5, pinning the queen and the king.

[@urmis4]

Qh5+ Kd8 ( g6 Bxg6+ )Ba5 , pinning the queen either way !

[@cwoodside907]

In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(...Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?

[@jmurdock03]

Following

[@pawn2Queen]

Trap3 doesn't give you massive advantage with so many pieces being sacrificed. I mean getting the Queen itself gives you only +2. If they don't take the knight, you end up giving them +1. The way you present it, it's a winner. However, in my opinion, you shouldn't get too excited about it, even if it works

[@romelgalo3560]

[@seamus9305]

Thanks man.

[@StephenWhite55]

Clearly, 1. Qh5+ ... and 2. Ba5 (pinning Black's Q against the K/d8) wins. If Black tries 1 ... g6, then Bg6+! (but NOT Qg6? - losing control of a5) completes the trap.

[@atillabaspinar]

[@enriqueyoung2091]

Good video👊

[@charleszhang1232]

1. Qh5+, Kd8 2. Ba5, pinning the queen to the King

[@thuhuyen6369]

imo the evaluation in trap 8 is relatively equal (a knight, bishop + rook for a queen is fair and the whole black’s queen side is wide open)

[@SaakarChess]

very nice video all traps in one video...check 07:10 time stamp looks incorrect!

[@_JamChop]

Flaw spotted 13:10 After moving the pawn out of whites way and promoting to a knight, the white king can now retreat back to its original square instead of taking it with rook, completely mooting the attack and freeing his queen. As opposed to promoting to queen where he cannot do this since he cant afford to leave the new queen uncaptured

[@NaturesFootprint1812]

puzzle= move queen to h5 to give check then the king moves to d8 then move black square bishop to A5 then the queen is traped now the game is end then you can win by capturing the queen

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Well done!

[@tomtoss2463]

[@theaznpanda]

In trap 7, around the 13:06 mark, why can’t I throw in a check with white bishop first and save my pawn for later? Wouldn’t I win the queen regardless? Or was this move to win one extra knight?

I think Nf3 blocks it and now your bishop sacrificed for nothing and you lose the pawn

[@rodneypantony3551]

Chess pieces are mathematical units in geometric form, that can be added or subtracted, according to rules. Units in mathematics similarly come in different forms and similarly operate according to rules. Mathematics represents physical forms. So physical mathematics is simply the operations upon physical mathematical units. Chemistry is a good example of physical mathematics. Chemistry and chess both have geometric forms of units. It's really hard to add and subtract chess units because of computational complexity, for every addition or subtraction, there are many 2D geometric shapes that fit in sequences. There's beginning complexity, middle complexity and then it's not complex at all. Kindly define the complexity of chess and therefore the periodic table along these lines. Not sure if this is novel or not. Certainly I've been emailing it for some time now. Kindly verify or rebut.

In the last method instead of moving the queen 19:38 , black can up his pawn to a6

[@grantarmstrong2968]

1:30 yeah, I usually try to avoid letting my opponent keep their knight near that fork

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

Love the first four traps, Igor. It was a simple continuation of play that led to the queen being lost I'm going to start using these at once.

[@ashishsubhedar3969]

put the check with Queen & then black king moves. Now bring Dark square Bishop to grab queen; which is pinned to king. Our bishop has support of queen.

[@jimfoxvog]

On trap 7 at 13:15, when the pawn is promoted to a knight, wouldn't most players notice the attack on the king and queen with the bishop and simply return the king to its home square? It would then be hard to save the new knight.

[@batasmerah2209]

Maybe, but the next move can win a rook cuz when you check with your queen the opponent should protect the king with the pawn (you get the rook), if the king move forward (you get the queen), if the king move to the front of the queen ( you can protect the knight or likely made more chance to winning the game)

[@DJNightchild]

8. Ke1 Qh4+ 9. g3 Qe4+ 10. Be2 Qxh1 Nets you at least a rook, in most cases.

[@arialblack3279]

promoting the pawn to a queen would make more sense. It's more brutish but leaves your opponent with no counterplay (2 queens vs 1 or no queen vs 1 queen)

[@arialblack3279]

JK he can trade queens

[@mikekeenan8450]

Solution to puzzle: Qh5 ch. If ... Kd8, Ba5 pins the queen, and if ... g6, Bxg6 ch Kd8 Ba5 with the same result.
