Chess Traps

Quiz 4.7(A)

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.d3 d6 6.c3 Be7 7.Nbd2 O-O 8.Nf1 b5 9.Bc2 Nh5 and now 10.Nxe5 is dubious because of 10...Nxe5

White to move.

• If 11.Qxh5 then 11...Bg4 traps the Queen.
• 11.d4 Bg4 12.f3 Bh4+ 13.Ke2 is better but Black still has a strong attack.

Go to next trap, or to full game, or to beginning.
