Chess Traps- Bird’s Eye View
We take a look at a chess trap for black against the bird’s opening from weak. Black focuses on the weakness created by the lack of the f2 pawn and offers a pawn as a sacrifice to put the trap in motion.

at 2:02 i would rather move Qd4, attacking the knight and rook at the same time
at 2:30, can we defend our knight by Bg2 or d4? and, if we do move back, and Black plays Ng4, can we instead play g3? it prevents the bishop to come to g3 (Original mate square) and would enable Black to recapture at h2 with the knight, given that the h4 square is now guarded… nthe structure would still be a mess, tho
From’s Gambit variation.
f4 e5 fe d6 ed Bxd6 Nf3 Nf6 gets you here as well. Then of course the mistake is still b3.
This seems like a position from Froms Gambit, with Nf6 and white has made a bad move with b3.
after Bxg7, surley Nxf3+ is better than Rg8, as this gains further tempo and keeps the material advantage?
I was taught never to open with the f pawn. F, they say, stands for “failure”.
Great!
Why take on h2 with the bishop, you gain more mate chances if you take with the knight!
wow!!that’s very strong trap for black!!I’ll try it…thx
yes
tenth ave north- music <3 great tutorial
5. …Qd4 looks way better then 5. …Bd6
Why not 5. Nxe5 Qd4 ? If Nxe5, Bd6, white should play Bb2..
well its solid i think perhaps with an slide advantage for white as allways and a big one if you opponent does not know how to go on;)… many players are surprised when seeing the birds… anyway GM players usually do not play this with some exceptions!
thou it is maybe underestimated.
I believe the name of this gambit is the Franz gambit. Typical move order is 1. f4,e5 2. fxe5,d6 3. exd6, Bxd6 4. Nf3, Nf6 and now white needs to be careful as black has threats of Ng4 and in combination of Qh4 check and either bishop or Knight taking on h2 is very dangerous for white.
The only time I’ll move my fPawn to f4 is when playing kings gambit. Is this opening for white with the trap in mind a good opening if played by GM players?
I was curious about this also. He states that it is White’s intention to fianchetto his bishop, yet does not play B-b2 after Nxe5. Anything other than B-b2 is incredibly questionable. As Krakkaskak once said:
“If you want to play this move then you should read some beginner books. Or get your school money back”
after nxd5 can black just play Qd4 forking the knight and rook?
Krakkeshak plays this system consistently, and is currently rated 2600. but he goes for the immediate plays g3 followed by b g2 and then 0-0 castle. destroying this system completely
nice.,,, that is if f4 ever happens. and that knight move.
No, it isn’t, nd3 and bb2 and nc3
first of all b3 is something you won’t see at all.
Yet, i think that after dxe5 bb2 is great for white in the view of e4 ne5 followed by e3, bc4 and castles, a huge pressure on the f7 will lead to it’s fall, plus if black will try to exchange the knight for a bishop white will be glad, any Nc6 moves will ruin it’s pawn structure, and white shall not be afraid to sacrafice on f7 after the 0-0…
So said the International Master.
true say that move basically makes the trap useless if they notice and ur downa pawn
Just move G2 to G3 you don’t have to be panic and will take care of the problem, why you bother with H1 .
Might as well get into king’s gambit by moving Pawn to e4 when the threat comes and you’ll be the one setting a counter trap! hehehe
