In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will share with you the best chess opening traps from the Ruy Lopez defense, which happens after the opening moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5.

It is also called the Spanish Opening or Spanish Game, named after 16th-century Spanish priest Ruy López de Segura. It is one of the most popular openings, with such a vast number of variations that all codes from C60 to C99 in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (ECO) are assigned to them.

At 02.47 of the video the best move for White is Nd6, trapping the Black Queen.

[bnewman]

Trap 3, White can play 8. Nxe5, ...
if 8. ..., BxQ; 9. NxNc6+, Be7; 10. NxQ+, KxQ; 11. RxBd1 and White is a Bishop up.
if 8. ..., Be7; 9. NxB and White is a piece up.

For the last trap has anyone figured the winning move for white yet, Sir please can we see the answer?

[DrunkenCommander]

4:28 I think black pawn to d5 is a better option than Ng6. Attacking both knight and bishop and if white takes on d5, black takes bishop on b5 and once again attacking the knight and now pawn on d5. Yet not losing a tempo, which you do in case of Ng6.

[eurindowding]

Ne6 wins since Nxd8 comes on the next move and is unavoidable!!!

[akdevendraswamy]

Nxe5! Threatening QxB & discover check regaining Queen, material with advantage

[dandonna]

1.Nxe5 Bxe1 2.Nxc6 with discover check from Rook Be7 3. Nxd8 OR 1. Nxe5 Be6 2.Nxc6 bxc6 3. Bxc6+ Nd7 4.Bxa8 OR 1. Nxe5 Be6 2.Nxc6 Qd6 3.Nxd4+ c6

[famdegroot]

After white pawn to d5 then instead of black moving backwards with his knight to e7, best to play pawn e4 to e3!

[dandonna]

First puzzle 1. N e6 attacks and wins Queen because the light square Bishop pins d7 pawn attack the Night

[RNeilen]

Also, after Nxe5, if black does not move Bxd1, and tries to block the white rook from putting black into check, say Ne7, black will loose his bishop with the next move white Nxg4
