Javier Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Take a look at the following position (White has just played d5). Your task is to find a trap in the (short) variations which could follow... A trap for whom? I hear you ask. Does that really matter? ¡¡¡THIS IS PURE CHESS!! The answer will be posted soon.

Javier Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Here's the answer: One variation one should definitely take into account is the following: (after white's 1.d5) 1...exf 2.dxc fxg and now it looks like white's losing a pawn because if he plays 3.cxb7? Bxb7 and the Pawn on g2 is protected. Ok, that was easy to see. The tricky move comes if white plays 3.cxd7+ instead: black then has the surprising 3...Nfxd7!! after which WHITE MUST RESIGN!!
