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

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)

[Phantom-mgcg]

20:16 Qh5, (g6, Bxg6, ) Kd8, Ba5 pinning the Black Queen

I wish i could give you a thousand likes. This is simply amazing. You're the best chess teacher out there!

[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.

[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.

[TimBraithwaite]

Thank you, Igor! So practical and helpful, as always.🙏🏻 You are the clearest, friendliest and smartest chess tutor on YouTube.

[jacobcisneros]

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

[pierrenagonio]

wow! I have found it... Q check, B check and the black Q is trapped. Amazing stuff on this channel for my lvl. Buhaha on the liches. BIG THX

[BobChess]

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.

[Saltydog]

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

[GrafasDiving]

Thank you so much Igor. You are the clearest, friendliest and smartest chess tutor on YouTube.

Solution to the Puzzle: Qh5+ Kd8 Ba5! and if g6 then Bxg6+ Kd8 Ba5

[satishkanetkar]
