Yeah that's a very important motif. Got one of the most depressing losses because of that 3 weeks ago where we played against the best team in the leaugue and I got my queen trapped in a position with the exchange up. Not only did I loose in a very bad way but also my team lost because of that and we could have gotten a win against the leaugue leader. But mistakes happen and you have to learn from them, thank you for the video!
I have discovered some of these traps by playing puzzles on lichess. That helps quite a lot. The rook trapping example was awesome. Thanks a lot for these videos.
Very interesting, middle game is such a great part of the game, just like a genuine battle where the slightest unbalance or misplaced soldier can lead a side to a swift loss.

Hmmm... In minute 17'09", white played a4, but... What about c4! If takes "en passant", then bishop takes h7+, winning the rook by discovery!!! Isn't it right?
It's not as strong as the continuation in the actual game: if Bxh7+, yes you can take the rook, but then you allow Black a lot of activity, that starts with .. c2+! White is still better, but not as much as it could have been
Well that's just the thing. There is no theory for middlegames. In openings things can be explained theoretically, in some endgames too. But in the middlegame all you have is principles - take towards the center, rooks go on open files, knights need outposts etc. There is no theory for how to trap a piece. Just practice and examples.

Very interesting, middle game is such a great part of the game, just like a genuine battle where the slightest unbalance or misplaced soldier can lead a side to a swift loss.

Awesome video!
i think it's named the noah ark trap because the pawns "floods" like water
Oh, ok. Thanks a lot for the explanation Bill.
bill cispy That’s a good explanation, Bill. I always heard that it was because the trap was so old it was first played on Noah’s Ark😂
Good video. Many thanks!

And, if doesn't take "en passant"... Then well, just capture the rook with the pawn!!

Please try to put some theory into these videos, not just examples.
