whenever I try to use a chess trap, I get trapped

[thanosroussos]

guys when you try to use a trap on an opponent, always remember that your first moves must be really slow in order to make them think you dont have a plan.

So this is why I keep losing games to other beginners. I swear I've lost to every single one of these.

7:06 so confused here. why wouldnt the rook (h1) just take the knight (g1)?

[Gajunaful]

That legal trap worked well against my son. Okay he is 6 years old and I was giving him instructions, but anyway.

Here's the best chess trap. You say "Hey, what's that over there!" and point in a random direction with your finger. And then when he looks, you hit him over the head with the chess clock. Works every time.

Hey Kevin, thanks for posting these videos. I have two questions about the Lasker trap. 1) why doesn't the king take the pawn on f2? 2) Two moves later the pawn is promoted to a knight and for some reason the rook doesn't take the knight on g1. I don't understand why. Thanks, Andrew

Learning and trying to apply those traps really helped me a lot as a (still) beginner. Not really because the worked (only a few times), but because you start to understand some principles and mistakes. Right now I compete with ~1400...1600 players and that the level where they will not fall for the traps... So you have to modify them ;)

I had a guy write LOL after taking my queen with the bishop and then instaleaving after losing 20 seconds later :) (The legal trap)

[AWWYEAHHHHHH]
