You are making me feel like an idiot chess player because I haven't considered your traps. They are so stealthy and execution seems simple and non-threatening!!

Thank you so much! You have been a great help to me! ...These traps both work and are not that hard to learn. Just try it out, I'm sure you'll be able to catch a few pawns with these. Only the opening traps in this video is that they can only work in blitz games because in slower time controls, opponents may notice these traps and try to avoid them.
The 6th trap at 12:10, in a Ruy Lopez, has the name "The Noah's Ark Trap," where the white bishop gets smothered by the advancing pawns. This has happened to me in countless games against players who do not fully understand how to play the Ruy Lopez. I think many of these other traps also have names. It would have been nice to give those names to give them some character. The opening at 5:48 has the name the "Schilling-Kostic Gambit." After white captures the hanging e-pawn with 4.Nxe4 you say "This practically loses on the spot" after 4...Qg5. But, one possibility you do not address is if white responds by playing 5.Bxf2+, forcing the black king to move: 5.Bxf2+ Kd8, 6.O-O Qxe5, winning the knight. Sure, white has an advantage but there is not much more white can do from this position. White has certainly not fallen into any trap where he gets checkmated. The computer line indicates that black has about a -0.6 advantage at this point but white's king is safely castled whereas black's king is going to be stuck in the middle of the board. White has given up a knight for two pawns and has a degree of compensation. It's not great for white, but he still has a perfectly playable game. He survives "falling" into the trap. Play might continue: 7.c3 Ne6, 8.d3 g3, 9.Re1 d6, 10.d4 Qf6, 11.BxN(e6) Qxe6, 12.d5 (all computer moves) and the position is very close to being equal. Neither side is particularly well developed as white has made many pawn moves whereas black has made multiple queen moves. I'm not sure I wouldn't mind playing the white side of this.
Absolutely brilliant.. since traps never work on good players it's best to play a trap which doesn't harms your position so this video is really fantastic n well thought.. Very well done.. keep uploading
I have a question, where you put white in check with the knight he can take your knight with the queen and block your next check in the corner with his bishop.. What would you recommend doing if that happens? I would most likely take your knight with my queen instead of moving my King, please feel free to tell me if there is something I have overlooked..
wow, it looks so simple and I never tried this kind of traps. Really stunning and thanks for sharing this with us. Keep up your great work and vids. Cheers :)
excellent ...made me want to try again...its been years since ive played online; it was intimidating to me..i stayed @ 800 to 1000 rating... ive never played on time clock, dont really understand concept..thou i play fairly fast...endgame sux!!! i have done the study online where you finish a certain position etc. 100's of times. i'm definitely not a natural but very much enjoy.. do you or anybody have suggestions for a good online site to play people? im 60 yr old..dam..and not looking to become a master..lol.. but would like to think a 1500 or better rating is obtainable in time... sorry so long, but this really got me going again...you are 1st teacher that made sense at my level...thanks
Well Lynn .... I used to be pretty good too but since its been a couple years since I have played anyone online or A.I. on my computer, I am extremely rusty in my chess thinking ....But DON'T despair as you CAN improve ! .... I bought 3 books from Amazon a couple years ago I thought would help me understand chess better than I used to called "Logical chess" ..."Move by move, every move explained" written by Irving Chernev .... (2) ... "Train Your Chess Pattern Recongnition, more key moves and motifs" AND "Improve Your Chess Pattern Recognition, key moves and motifs " written by Arthur Van De Oudeweetering .... One more great chess book which begins as if a person knows nothing about Chess and teaches EVERYTHING from Openings, middle games in helping you set up your end game ALL the way up to Grand Master is written by Fred Reinfeld called "The Complete Chess Player" .... I can remember playing chess in college decades ago where we invented a 4-player chess board by adding half a regular board to each side .... it was fantastic .... but back to where I left off about the book "The Complete Chess Player" ... I was playing chess and I wasn't doing all that well, so when I went home for two weeks during Christmas vacation I started reading it without a chess set to practice on and learned things like "forks", "pins" etc. that I really didn't know about before .... When I returned to college, I lost 4 games in a row and I couldn't figure it out .... Then out of nowhere, everything I had been reading in the book became crystal clear for me on the chess board and I won the next 19 games in a row against people who were beating me all the time before .... So, NOW its time to take my game a step further by reading the books I just wrote down here for you .... good luck my friend because Knowledge is what wins games ....!!!!
A few more of the top of my head : Legal's Mate, the stem game of which ran 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d6 3 Bc4 Bg4?! 4 Nc3 g6? 5 Nxe5 Bxd1?? 6 Bxf7+ Ke7 7 Nd5# and the theme of which can be reproduced in several slightly different contexts with both colors Queen's Gambit Accepted 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dc 3 e3 b5?! 4 a4 c6? 5 ab cb?? 6 Qf3 and other variations on the same theme In the Morra Gambit, lots of early traps with White but also a couple with Black 1 e4 c5 2 d4 cd 3 Nf3 e5?! 4 Nxe5?? Qa5+ Siberian Trap 1 e4 c5 2 d4 cd 3 c3 dc 4 Nxc3 Nc6 5 Nf3 e6 6 Bc4 Qc7 7 0-0 Nf6 8 Qe2 Ng4 9 h3?? Nd4, a theme that can also occur in mainline Open Sicilians Deferred From Gambit 1f4 d6 2 Nf3 e5 3 fe g5 4 ed g4 5 dc Qxc7 6 Nd4 Bd6 7 Nb5?? Bg3+
Legal's mate is not among the best one because it's like the first trap every player learn. So pretty much never work. And if black plays Bg4 they always put up Be7 or Nf6 afterwards which prevent the mate.
Thanks for this great video. I am learning to play, and today will be watching the tournament going on in St Louis. These openings can help a very new beginner to see the bigger picture.
I am new at chess so excuse me if I am wrong. But doesn't the whole trap fall apart if white pawn captures black pawn "en passant" at 5:48? (At least I believe that is how "en passant" works)
ALWAYS analyze it yourself with stockfish. Because for example in 3rd trap opponent may take pawn with bishop, check. What you gonna do? Look at lines when opponent plays best moves, not only suggested by whoever.
Nobodeh DontNeedToKnow Bxf7 is the second most obvious move in that position. Black will get the piece at the cost of two pawns and losing castling. That is a bad trap.
Oh you mean cheat and use a f*cking engine to do your thinking for you? Computers have ruined Chess and taken the mystique out of the game. It just goes to show that humans are Cheaters and Liars before anything else. Sorry just the harsh truth. All the top players go racing off to their little engines to find the best move in any variation, then remember the line. They ALL cheat, every last one of them.
At about 3:57 when he starts that trap, I had no clue it would be so useful in a situation. Especially because I love the knight and it’s only a six move mate!
I had this today at 06:48 in your video, and followed the guidance, it has taken a LONG time for me to be in this position, but never the less. My opponent moved the queen down and sacrificed it, rather than the bishop. Which still left me in a good position - but I could not smother. I took the sacrifice, and then played the knight around. I ended up taking a few more pieces and disrupted the game enough for him to resign, bu you say in the video the opponent has to move the bishop. They dont - they can offer the Queen which is a nice get out.
14:14 After blacks bishop takes the c4 pawn, if black takes the bishop and the queen recaptures, because of the captured d5 pawn white is not losing on material, but on position instead. To all of those who asked that question!
@13:25 white doesn't have to escape, but instead play Bxf7+, then black responds with Kxf7, followed by Qd5+ then after the King moves white just captures the Rook. OR if black decides not to capture the Bishop and maybe play Ke7 then white can still play Qd5 saving the Queen and double-attacking the Rook and Knight.
U see how u can just play a normal game of chess if people don’t fall for these traps u can just set up these traps so there’s a chance opponent falls for the and if he doesn’t who cares u don’t have to cry like a little bitch about it
At 6:50, why does white "have" to play Be2 to block off the black queen from white king? Why can't white instead play Qe2? That no longer allows a smothered mate when black plays Nf3, since white king can move to Kd1, and it further pins black queen against its king. The only way out of this for black is to exchange queens, following which white knight will take black rook at h8. An alternative response for black when white plays Qe2 can be Nxc2, forking black king and rook on a1. But that will at best put black a pawn up after the exchange of queens, and capture of rooks at a1 and h8 respectively. Am I reading the scenarios correctly?
Varun Ramanujam because if you block with the queen black will just capture the queen with his knight dude... and you will most likely lose the game trading queen for knight
you are amazing and I have subscribed your channel. Igor is amazing . Liked his videos. Please make some middle game practice videos . I am a bit weak in it.
I would play in 9:46 Bishop to d2 King moves and I play Bishop to d4 attacking the Queen. Queen takes the Bishop then I push a pawn to c6. If the queen eats it it will be exchange of queen's. If Knight takes you can still save your game if you play smart.......

At about 3:57 when he starts that trap, I had no clue it would be so useful in a situation. Especially because I love the knight and it’s only a six move mate!
I was watching this with my headphones in my living room and my whole family just heard me say, out loud, "ohhhh that's dirty."
I had this today at 06:48 in your video, and followed the guidance, it has taken a LONG time for me to be in this position, but never the less. My opponent moved the queen down and sacrificed it, rather than the bishop. Which still left me in a good position - but I could not smother. I took the sacrifice, and then played the knight around. I ended up taking a few more pieces and disrupted the game enough for him to resign, bu you say in the video the opponent has to move the bishop. They dont - they can offer the Queen which is a nice get out.
Just realised - now I have said that, I could have taken the queen with my knight, fair play. Lesson learnt.

whats the secret to getting your opponent to play the moves you want/need him to make in order for any of these traps to work.
I don't think so there is any secret. We should know the traps, but we shouldn't rely on them

In minute 7:46 am I overlooking it or can Queen take black knght?
The last trap, knight moves to c6.
Very good line
I would play in 9:46 Bishop to d2 King moves and I play Bishop to d4 attacking the Queen. Queen takes the Bishop then I push a pawn to c6. If the queen eats it it will be exchange of queen's. If Knight takes you can still save your game if you play smart.......
Very nice explanations!

11:09 why does the Knight has to go back? Why not move Kh4? Later you could place Kf5 to check and take the queen.
