Holy wow! I'm not a very good chess player - rated 'bout 1000 in 5+3 blitz, which is the only format i play. Just a hobby. What blew my mind, was that I recognized the sequence! I have played this game as black, and defended against that... Invasive queen! I remember, because while trying to find a good move to a queen invading my home, I moved Be6 (realizing that it would save my rook - Bit embarrassed that I didn't know of the check mate threat), and Qc6 followed. Moving my bishop back to d7, and the queen gets kicked back to d5, I was finally able to push for c4. Just a sharp memory - a short story, from a new chess player. The presure of trying to find a quick solution when the clock is ticking. Final note to #ChessNetwork - Thank you for all your videos. I have started watching through-out the winter, and it has sparked an interreset to play chess. To learn and come back for more.
It's constructive criticism like this that I value so much. Thank you for taking the time to relay how I might be able to do one better with the video quality.
Jerry these videos are great. You often say that you are not very booked up on openings, is it possible that you would be willing to do a video series like this one for openings, I believe it would help you as well as your viewers to improve on openings. Your grasp of the fundamental concepts and ability to relay that information really makes you the best Chess youtube streamer. I believe that an openings playlist from you would be extremely popular and useful. Thank you again.
Excellent video for both Novice and experienced players. A common trend currently at the higher levels (Class A-Masters) is playing the Sicilian - Kan. I myself play the very system you show in this video and I was unaware of this nifty transposition to the Fishing Pole. In classical Chess it does seem a tad questionable, as the integrity of the King side can only really be sacrificed in the Sicilian - Schveshnikov... but in Blitz tournaments and playoff rounds, this is top notch. -SeanMorphy
If you were able to see that move in a game then you would be able to find the better move Bd5. But yes you are right.After Qxd4,c5,Bxf7+ could be considered.It would expose the king temporarily but at the end of the main variation White gets two pawns with Bxc4,bxc4,Qxc4.I would prefer the main line.Although you hinder the King from immediate rights to 0-0 he will get there with Be7-Nf6-Re8-Kg8..The first three moves are natural developing moves
Great lesson Jerry. Just a bit of criticism; the "credits" appeared too fast. I wanted to assimilate the final possition for a bit longer. I know I can go back and pause but still...
After Qxd4,c5,Qd5,Be6,Qc6+,Bd7,Qd5,c4,Bxc4,Be6 again to prevent the two pawns from being exchanged does not work because Qc6+ again Bd7,Bxf7+ Still picking up two pawns for the exchange.Would be best to lose the b-c pawns and use the open files for Rooks.Plus you won't have an isolated d-pawn.
I was actually going to say, that ending was absolutely awesome. He says "and the bishop....was TRAPPED." And then it instantly cuts to the link; great ending imo.
Oh man..I play the Ruy Lopez quite a bit and I wasn't aware of this trap. Luckily, I always castle after d6 and I try to get in c3 before I push d4 :) A nice trap to know when I'm playing as black! Thanks!
I've used this trap several times, but by the end of it my queen side is a mess and i'm down 2 pawns for a bishop and castling is still several moves away. Not that much compensation in my opinion. Thanks for these videos though, I really enjoy them.
Not sure, but I believe I see a little problem with this trap. 8. Qxd4?? c5 // 9. Bxf7+?! Kxf7 10. Qc5+ Be6 11. Qa5+ g6 12. Qf3+ Kg7 (because Ke7 would lose the queen) 13. Qc3+ (...draw?)
question jerry, if white sidesteps with 8. Bd5! ...Rb8 9. Qxd4 can black now play...c5!? , gaining space, or would that be a positional blunder due to the subsequent backward d6 pawn ? this position arises fairly often for me. thanks
Make more of them please! I have also a question.. is there any better trap if you play Evans Gambit? I have heared that there is a great trap, but i can`t find it, i dont even know on which side
What happens after black pawn C7-C5, and white bishop B3-F7 and captures the pawn with a check. Then the queen can chase the king around the board a bit ... mind running out that scenario in another video?
You mean Qd5 for 10, right? Qxc5 isn't check, and it would certainly result in dxc5, leaving white in a very bad position ;) Also, after Qc3+, I believe Nf6 leaves the king somewhat safe and forces white to castle, giving black tempo? Granted, black king is now in a bad position with few pawns ahead of him, but black is up a bishop and can focus all his minor pieces on attacking the king side castle?
Jerry could ya plz do a video for the trap out of the Sicilian-Sozinattk. The Fischer trap. I haven't found it yet if there is one on this channel. I'ma keep lookin'
Would be great to do a mini trap series, s'pecially for the likes of moi who blunders into em at every given opportunity!! Great little tip, nice one thx.
Hi Jerry! I was wondering if in response to ...b5 white plays d5 and both players end up capturing a piece, isnt white better then? What would be a good response to d5 in your oppinion? I know its an old video, but I hope you might read my comment :D love your commentary and descriptions!
im not jerry but d5 is actually a bad move for white. d5 limits the squares of the bishop that is threatened by b5 after the knight makes its way out of the threat from d5.
i just played a game of the roy lopez (i was white), but instead of 6... Nxd4 my opponent played Nf6 if he would have played Nxd4 i probably would have lost to this trap!! now i never will haha

Thanks, Jerry. I like how Be6 serves three purposes.
It's constructive criticism like this that I value so much. Thank you for taking the time to relay how I might be able to do one better with the video quality.
A lot of Ruy Lopez players are used to preparing d4 with c3, but it's nice to see exactly why that's so important.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! i've been waiting for you to start a series on TRAPS, im looking forward to see more and more of these

This sparked my dormant chess flame. Thanks Jerry, glad I'm still subscribed

8. Qxd4?? c5
//
9. Bxf7+?! Kxf7
10. Qc5+ Be6
11. Qa5+ g6
12. Qf3+ Kg7 (because Ke7 would lose the queen)
13. Qc3+ (...draw?)
question jerry, if white sidesteps with 8. Bd5! ...Rb8 9. Qxd4 can black now play...c5!? , gaining space, or would that be a positional blunder due to the subsequent backward d6 pawn ? this position arises fairly often for me. thanks
Jerry, love Chess Traps. That's really great. Would you mind doing some what if? lines as well. Because they might not always play that line.
Make more of them please! I have also a question.. is there any better trap if you play Evans Gambit? I have heared that there is a great trap, but i can`t find it, i dont even know on which side

at 1:38 what if queen escapes to d3 protecting the bishop at the same time?
Jerry could ya plz do a video for the trap out of the Sicilian-Sozinattk. The Fischer trap. I haven't found it yet if there is one on this channel. I'ma keep lookin'
Great commentary Jerry! Keep it up
11 square =121
And your total comments are 121
What about the Phantom Rook Variation?
Would be great to do a mini trap series, s'pecially for the likes of moi who blunders into em at every given opportunity!! Great little tip, nice one thx.
why not use the pause function, which you can use at any time.
theres a Pawn on e4...so the Queen is blocked off from the d3 square.
Loved this little bitesize lesson, hopefully something we'll see more of :)
Jerry thanks for the great videos. You help me learn alot in chess. You are a great inspiration! :D
Nice vid, please make more of these! :)
FINALLY!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK1!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha ha "the Chilean Miners trap" made me spit out my coffee!! Thanks man i needed that laugh.
Thanks jerry. I used this & now i feel like a bad ass
First comment in two years!
beutiful trap... I will spend the rest of the morning memorizing it.
Better late than never?! :)
try the lolli attack?
Hi Jerry! I was wondering if in response to ...b5 white plays d5 and both players end up capturing a piece, isnt white better then?
What would be a good response to d5 in your oppinion? I know its an old video, but I hope you might read my comment :D love your commentary and descriptions!
im not jerry but d5 is actually a bad move for white. d5 limits the squares of the bishop that is threatened by b5 after the knight makes its way out of the threat from d5.
AAAHHHHHHHHHH!! Jerry, why didn't you upload this sooner?! I was just up against this like 10 seconds ago on ChessCube!!
Its been ate years
?
Have fallen for this trap, quite a couple of times. It's a good trap though, but it leaves your queenside quite vulnerable.
Yes! I love chess traps! And by love, I mean I fall for them all the time! Haha

Great Trap. Let's have more Jerry.
cool. i will try this, jerry.
white queen was threatening mate on f7 and rook on a8
the real question is: why is it called (Noas Ark) trap??
it shuts in the bishop, just as God shut Noah in the ark. Hope this helps. Happy Chess!
Love the Videos, Fantastical!
Guess this one is jerry's favourite. He's yelling about this one almost half the time in Blitz videos
Awesome - More traps :)!
Was the name of this trap coined from the biblical "Noah's ark"?...If so, what led to this?.
Thanks for your prospective response(s).
if bishop took the knight in the starting then this trap would have failed and black would lose additional pawn captured by white knight
nice and easy....love it
in noahs ark trap instead of qd5 play bxf7
According to some atheist, this trap never existed
What do you mean draw?
Soon to come, I'm sure, is the Fishing Pole. That way, we can all go fishing.
Why is this called Noah's Ark Trap?
Just woundering.
Why do they call it the Noah's Ark trap?
What if 4. Bxc6?
Then the trap can't happen anymore
Everyone knows a bishop is often more usefull than a knight so people play ruy lopez just for pin but almost noone ever takes the knight with bishop
lol i seen all those moves coming before they happen..... i didnt even think they was right though...
Awesome! Thank You!
traps in chess are very interesting...
why is it called Noah's ark trap???
i think i did that trap once... didnt even noticed it was a "known trap" ... lol...
thanks jerry
i love this, more!
why izit call noah ark trap? @_@
Do fishing pole next! XD
brutal!
hey thanks for teaching me how to TRAP A BISHOP?
Thanks
I knew it as Lincoln's bed trap
thank you

Tried this and it backfired! >.> Never trying this again>.<
You're right. Thanks!
=]
Goofy ahh pawns
because it's trap???
nice!!
Nice
Hehe, I had to read this comment through my fingers, was expecting to be called all kinds of evil. No worries. :)
it happens all the time in blitz =P
Somebody else was watching Jerry's video.
ye
If Admiral Ackbar played chess...
as usual ... i always get sth out of this :P
i just played a game of the roy lopez (i was white), but instead of 6... Nxd4 my opponent played Nf6
if he would have played Nxd4 i probably would have lost to this trap!! now i never will haha
My stupid cousin asked why queen couldn't take on C4. XD
Square
