These are some of my favorite traps in chess. The reason I like them a lot is because there are easy and easy to analyze. Anyway one of m favorites starts with e4, e5, Nf3, Nc6 and Bb5. this is a very normal opening. Then the came continues with Nf6, o-o, Ng4, h3, h5, hxg4, hxg4, Ne1, and Qh4, The threat is very clear now. The black queen is about to make checkmate on either h1, or h2. You could slow it down with f3 but black will just advance his pawn to g3 and there is no stopping Qh1#
This next trap we are playing black again. As usual it starts out with e4, e5, Nf3, Nc6, but instead of Bb5 the bishop stops on c4! Why did he do it? Well you will find out soon. After Nf6 white plays Ng5 double attacking the weak f5 pawn, threatening a queen and rook fork, and protecting his pawn and there is no way good way you can stop this threat.
Now you are going to find out why we let our enemy play that and you are about to see how we are going to defend it. Try to figure it out first and then come back later. If your back I hope you got the same answer as I did. Just to give you a head up, this is a counter attack and not a trap but it seems like a trap to me. Anyway, the game should continue with Bc4, Nxf7, and Bxf2+! Black should just play Kf1 but if he gets greedy and captures your bishop then the you should play Nxe4+ the most common move I see is Ke1 and after Qh4+ g3 is forced and you just take it with your night. If you want to go further I will let you calculate that but I am out of time today.
