Famous Opening Traps and how to avoid them

haha thats nice comment

Great job, that study!!

Thank you for your kind words @pn2206 and @Sybotes

@quickchess123 If you play through the moves, you will find alternatives for the side that got snared in the trap. If I missed such alternatives in one or another variation please let me know. Despite that I still hope you enjoyed the study.

Best, Jonny

hi!

@Jonnyx
Which openings have the largest number of traps for white and for black?
Which traps have a small number of moves?

Hey @pointlesswindows

I think that the opening with the largest number of traps should be an open opening (1. e4 e5). In my study I made four traps for the Ruy Lopez and two for the Italien Game. In both openings I would easily find more traps, so I think that they have a huge trap potential.

Traps with a small number of moves? Well trap #01 (7 moves), trap #02 (8 moves), trap #03 (9 moves) and trap #18 (7 moves). are pretty short. Trap #18 I used myself many times in blitzgames, so this one is probably my favorite one.
