Top 7 Chess Opening Traps
Dear Chess Friends!
You know it’s a real pleasure to win a chess game using an opening trap. However, to create a trap at any cost shouldn’t be your priority and, of course, you should distinguish bad traps and good traps. And apply only good traps!
What’s the difference between bad and good traps! Let me explain! For example, you apply a trap, but your opponent makes a good move and avoids it and your position becomes worse. This is a bad trap!
And now another situation. Imagine you create a trap, if your opponent gets trapped, you win the game (or just material), but if not (if he makes a good move and avoids this trap), your position is still good and may be even becomes better. It is a good trap! And I want you to use only good traps!
