The Legal Trap is possible when the Knight and Bishop both threaten f7. The Scholar’s Mate is possible when the Queen and Bishop both threaten f7. Keep an eye on f7 if you’re White, or f2 if you’re Black If you do experiment, I advise you to think “how can I fork them?” If you make a plan to fork, and extend that plan to the first move, you have basically created a trap.ĥ. They develop your pieces, and take away key ones from your opponent. The most common opening moves involve forks, and for good reason. Knights are also good for smothered mate, so a Queen and Knight attack can give you a clear advantage. Its ability to jump over pieces means that you don’t have to move or capture pieces to advance it, and it’s L-shape enables you to fork the King and Queen without either piece taking it, which is impossible in other King-Queen forks, which therefore require more preparation. The Knight is a key piece to develop if you want to attack. Such confusion can give you the advantage off the bat, even if you make a trap that doesn’t sacrifice the Queen.
If you have played the Nelson bot, you are often unsure of what to do in the face of his early Queen threats. The Queen is extremely powerful, and can play multiple threats, which is why it is helpful to use it. But not before wreaking some havoc first. That is how the Legal Trap and the Halosar Trap work.įollowing up to step 1, a good way to sacrifice your Queen is to put it in a position to be captured. Threaten a square, and then hang your Queen as bait so that this threat is ignored. Use this to your advantage, hanging your Queen. The Queen is an extremely powerful piece, so many players are eager to remove it as soon as possible. So here are the main rules of creating a trap:ġ. It took me a couple days to experiment with all the variations, and I often lost more than I won in actual games (my status during the time of working on this was "Experimenting = Rating Crash"). Now, creating a trap is very time consuming. I don’t want to keep you waiting any further, so let’s jump right in.
If you are recurring followers, I thank all of you for your patience as I worked to compile this post. If you are viewing my blog for the first time, I welcome you all.
