This is a game I played on the playchess server. It demonstrates a neat trap wich a lot of players tend to fall for..Enjoy! |

A rather strange move, black offers a pawn straight away. |

Most players will take here and in fact that is the right choice.. |
|

2... Nc6

Ofcourse black attacks the pawn, trying to regain material... |

But it can easily be defended. |

Ok? black moves his queen on the third move...Generally not a wise choice. However this move does attack the e-pawn again. |

Ah..Now black's play starts to make more sense! This is a critical moment and there's a good chance white will crumble under the pressure. (this is obviously a prepared opening.) |

?? This move is tempting since it attacks the queen and protects the rook, but a trained eye can see 6...Bb4 coming up, so instead 6.Nc3 is the only move here, with 6...Bb4 7.Rb1 Qa3 8.Nd5! as a common continuation, wich shows black has to be really careful! |

The queen is now pinned. |
