London System Chess opening trap #shorts

[dxf]

Oh no you're studying my opening! I'm just going to blunder my queen anyway.

[Fidnnfu]

Me: *tries an intricate and complex opening I learned on YouTube*
Opponent: *moves queen on the second move*

My man tried playing the Colle System and didn't think we would notice.

gothamchess actually showed this in his d4 dynamite course in the first chapter in the second video and its pretty cool

[dunder]

Bro just told us to do 80 moves while opponent does the exact other move

Instead of queen to C4 black could just play E7 to and when the knight arrives black would play G6 kicking out the queen and opening up the queen to see the squaree that the knight and queen were previously targeting.

might work in one game out of a thousand in 400 elo

You have to know this
Focus
This is how it starts with

[allorgansnobody]

I get a lot of people by playing Qb3 and so long as the light square bishop is blocked out (and it often is because people love trying to pin your kingside knight to your queen) and the knight is on c6 I’d say about 75% of people around 1200 blunder b6. Bb5 pins the knight winning it for sure. If they try to defend with Qe2 instead of the correct Ne2 or Rb8 then you back up your attack with Qa4. If they now move the queen out of the way to avoid getting skewered you win the knight and the rook. If they castle, you take the knight and it’s mate in 2 with Qxa2

me and people in my elo would just immediately trade those pieces
