guys when you try to use a trap on an opponent, always remember that your first moves must be really slow in order to make them think you dont have a plan.
Here's the best chess trap. You say "Hey, what's that over there!" and point in a random direction with your finger. And then when he looks, you hit him over the head with the chess clock. Works every time.
I feel you man keep up the hard work you'll get it. The truth is most people you play online in the beginning don't follow "the standard lines" then you have to adapt and make your own thing up as you go along.
Lol ikr? What I've started doing to remedy this is either get your chessboard, use the analysis tool on a chess website, or even just notate all the moves over and over and OVER until it's burned into your memory :)
@@ChasishOnUA-cam If you take with the King, then you lose your queen and cannot kill his queen. Put it into a board editor and you will see you lose your queen for nothing. King will be out of position.
Actually the Englund gambit is'nt that great there's a video on youtube about how to play against the Englund gambit I guess its title is "how to destroy the Englund gambit " be sure to check it out ,it's very useful
Hey Kevin, thanks for posting these videos. I have two questions about the Lasker trap. 1) why doesn't the king take the pawn on f2? 2) Two moves later the pawn is promoted to a knight and for some reason the rook doesn't take the knight on g1. I don't understand why. Thanks, Andrew
If the king takes the pawn on f2 then his queen would fall on d1. The king is the only defender of that piece right now. On the second question if the rook takes the knight then black can play bishop to g4+ winning the queen.
I had the same question 2) about the rook not taking failing to notice that the king was on the same diagonal as the queen. Love how that was so obvious to the guy giving the lesson that he didn't even mention. This is why I'm not very good at chess!
these traps can be used for beginners or sometimes intermediate.. not for an experienced chess player.. bcoz whenever you make a move they already predict your next 3-4 moves in advance.
@@odouroushouseant yes i saw that but this guy is creating a knight with his pawn which is wrong as due to this king will move and bg4+ wouldn't work. I think he should create a queen with his pawn so that king doesn't move and bg4+ can work!
@@pawelostrowski6513 dude if he will make a knight with his pawn then BG4+ will not work as king will move due to check by knight. He can just move bg4+ and take the queen when king is at E2
Learning and trying to apply those traps really helped me a lot as a (still) beginner. Not really because the worked (only a few times), but because you start to understand some principles and mistakes. Right now I compete with ~1400...1600 players and that the level where they will not fall for the traps... So you have to modify them ;)
The Fishing pole was a favorite line I used for a while taught to me by Master Brian Wall I laid out a full-page sp[read sheet with several amazing variations of the fishing pole attack and even one used by one of his young prodigies to beat a master in a live game. - www.djemir.com
@@omarashraf8928 thanks for replying, I'm still kinda confused though. I didn't understand why knight d4 can't take queen f3? How is black's king checked on e6 if he does that?
7:03 rook takes knights check,king doesnt have to move although u should take with the pawn and turn into a knight so then u put ur white bishop and deliver check and that gives u a free queen and possible u can turn in to a mate if you take with yours
Personally I've pulled of the legal trap more often when I skip moving my pawn to H3. Something about moving it there has just always caused the opponent to just take the knight
It can work like that, yes, but you should know that h3 is actually mandatory, because if, instead of playing h3, you play Knight to e5 directly, then black, if he pays attention, can capture your knight with his Knight that stands on c6, while you can't take his Bishop with your Queen, because his Knight (being on e5 now) will cover for the Bishop, thus putting you in a disadvantage in both material and development. But yeah, I guess most Black players won't pay attention because of the free queen...
*1:49** #5 Blackburne Shilling Gambit Trap oh my God I can't believe it worked! I usually never have the luck to find players falling in my traps* *Thanks!!*
When we say experience counts, we don't mean that through experience you can win every game. Same applies here, knowing and applying these traps is like having experience, which in turn helps you to become more familiarized with common and uncommon openings as well as such traps. Trust me, you're better off knowing these little traps than not. I always apply these openings and most times not even exactly, but the same idea. These openings are based on your opponest's best likely respones, and you'll be surprised just how many, even very good chess players, fall for this.
"No plan survives contact with the enemy." Expect the unexpected, oftentimes the less experienced chess players will NOT fall for these, since they will not plan their counter-moves mathematically correctly, and this is also a great tactic to use in chess. Be random and chaotic, sacrifice every fucking piece on the board so your opponent will not be able to know what to expect or how to counter-attack. Works wonders. Higher elo players play mathematically, rather than creatively, that's why they tend to fall for these traps ironically. I've seen it in my circle of friends several times, such a fun game.
@@juanvenegas5253 No, because if you turn pawn into a queen then black gets the in-between move Qxd8+, and blackis forced to recapture the queen, then black will take the newly queened pawn, the importance of promoting to knight is that it comes with check
Kevin my man 😎. I've been looking for this channel to recommend to a friend. Last I watched your videos was when I was beginning chess about 12 years ago 😅. Your videos helped me quite a lot. Was 1600 then I'm 2400+ now (lichess rating).
Paul Googol I disagree with this. Traps show you creative ways to win games and you can reuse these patterns in different situations. And if they don’t work, you still need skill to win. But if you think otherwise, that’s ok. I see where you are coming from. If a really bad player is in a higher rated league just because they know lots of traps, that’s not fair for them or their opponents.
@@benshaw5382 Beside the Albin countergambit (a joke to call the Queens Gambit a gambit anyway) the traps look cheap and if you faced them, they should not be a problem. The legals mate is just a plain blunder not developing the kingside in a sharp bishop opening type position.
I said the Albins is interesting but 4.e3 is just a well known blunder so I would not include it as opening preparation. Just remember it is not playable and you will never forget it cause of the rare underpromotion theme.The fishing pole is interesting to reinforce an active piece and build up pressure but it depends on the preparation and followup if it is a dumb idea or not.
6:51 So I see everyone is on the “why can’t rook take”, and I get that it leads to Bg4, skewering the king and queen, but why not just play that to begin with instead of capturing the knight?
@@ViswasHaridas That's how I would play that position. You're right, your knight is still hanging but you just took away your opponent ability to castle. After King d8, Queen-H5 would lead to a favorable chain for white and your opponents knight is still hanging also. Can simply attack their knight and offer a trade or time to move your knight.
@chesswebsite in 1:21 what if the black refuses to take queen but captures White's knight with his knight at e5,after this move even if the white queen captures the bishop at h5 the black knight can take White's bishop at c4
my favorite is the legal trap but quick question...In the lasker trap, why can't the rook just capture the knight on G1? Anyways you should also add up the fried liver attack. It's awesome
Is the pawn to h3 a necessary move in the legal trap (#6 on the list) and if so, why? Seems like you could do the exact same trap by immediately playing knight e5?
I don't think that this trap makes sense, you are just having a knight more and you have exchanged the queens also. It reduces the checkmate possibality
I finally got to use one of these traps. My opponent walked right into the Blackburne Shillings Gambit trap. It was very satisfying to pull off. Thanks for posting this video.
@@Qwer1610 You are correct. White can ignore and get out of the trap by playing Ng4. I have had a couple opponents play this move and make me adjust my moves.
Do you know what would really help? To identify which traps that are set by the black pieces and which are set by the white pieces so we can easily come back and study them! Congrats on the video!
In the lasker trap, why would black just not simply take the new knight on g1 with the rook on h1? Take the piece and relieve the check. Would that not work?
I think if that happens, then Nb4 will be black's move, threatening the pawn at c2 with a king-rook fork. If white Q takes it, then black Q can take white Q. Though the threat at c2 pawn can be protected by white's Nd4, the black's Bc5 may take care of that white knight. I'm not sure though. What do you think?

White can defend the queen's move by playing Ng4 right? I can still get a pawn back, but no gains.
@@Qwer1610 You are correct. White can ignore and get out of the trap by playing Ng4. I have had a couple opponents play this move and make me adjust my moves.
7:04 why can’t rook just take knight
Is anybody monitoring these comments to answer this question.?
im assuming cause of bishop g4 and winning their queen
@@blyatmobile4069 can you please elaborate? my begginer brain is melting because i cant find a way to counter rook takes knight
@@blyatmobile4069 WAIT NO NEVERMIND i figured it out check is a thing jsjdjdjd
@@roastedcrunchies8762 haha np
Whenever i use these traps, it seems they had already watched your videos.lol
your traps might get me winning a tournament
Hope so.
Looked this up after youtube decided to recommended me a bunch of chess videos for some reason
And kevin is back
extremely helpful and inspiring. many thanks for it.
7:00 - c) Rook captures the knight?
If you eat that.....the black bishop will give you check on king and you cant protect but to move the king and then you lose you queen .....
Thanks to both of you
Alright now everyone knows traps so each game we will try to trap each other.
2:18 yeah? but white can block the legal trap with knight on e5 by simply placing it on g4
Do you know what would really help? To identify which traps that are set by the black pieces and which are set by the white pieces so we can easily come back and study them!
Congrats on the video!
Im only here because of The Queens Gambit on Netflix.
In the lasker trap, why would black just not simply take the new knight on g1 with the rook on h1? Take the piece and relieve the check. Would that not work?
Then black could play Bg4 and white loses the queen. White really needs to move the king (instead of capturing the new knight) to avoid this.
Using traps against my dad is the worst thing to do...
Thanks now My Friends Cant beat me At Openings lol.
Beautiful.
Lovely to watch.
Thank you .
Most Welcome.
Giving more variations would helpful.... Otherwise it'll endup in loss 😅
I feel like I just watched ‘Saving Private Ryan’
Love the Fishing trap I even used the Fishing trap with white sometimes. For some reason people don't expect with white.
Unfortunately, I don't think this will work with my friends.😥
08:03 calling queen, bishop
1:03 what was the point of h3 then?
To make sure that the black bishop doesn't come back and defend instead of taking the white queen (if he discovers the trap)
The legal trap is wrong u can kill the horse with the soldier
he can't move his pawn cuz king got check
Utkarsh Negi easily avoided though, Kn x e5 , Kn x e5, Qxh5 , Kn x c4, Qb5, looks pretty even to me.
There's a soldier? Where?
3:42 the knight takes the pawn in front of bishop...
If he captures with queen u get a queen, if not check mate
that works but it’s not mate
Thats the fried liver attack i think
Darth Dogoz nah it’s not but it’s similar
Very successful Traps! Keep the very good Job!
You ever play someone so low level that stuff like this doesn’t work bc they don’t know what they “should be doing”
facts
"The first trap is the legal trap"
You mean marriage?
at min 03:54 how about if pawn go d4 to block black elephant?
Me, trying to keep my life together after ex wife took everything by finding a hobby
5:44
who here became interested in chess after watching queen’s gambit
In the last one if he tries to open up with f2 pawn you can just check with bishop c5, he protects with tower and queen checkmates
Tower call rook bro 😉
It's Legal's Trap and its pronounced LE-GALL
brilliant traps
In the second trap, what if Nc3 is played instead of Bc3. I guess the trap will be defended then. 8:22
I think if that happens, then Nb4 will be black's move, threatening the pawn at c2 with a king-rook fork. If white Q takes it, then black Q can take white Q.
Though the threat at c2 pawn can be protected by white's Nd4, the black's Bc5 may take care of that white knight.
I'm not sure though. What do you think?
