- We don't have an article on it yet. If you create one you can link it in this article. The traps we have currently can be found in Category:chess traps. Quale (talk) 01:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
French Game trap[edit]
Is there any name on this?
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Qb6 6. Bd3
On a quick look, capturing the pawn in d4 would lead black to win a pawn. The real mistake happens on 7th move though.
6...cxd4 7. cxd4 Nxd4 8. Nxd4 Qxd4 9. Bb5+
Following the check by bishop, black must react and then white can capture the queen.BleuDXXXIV (talk) 22:19, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Don't think it has any specific name, most books on the French appear to consider it so obvious they don't even mention it. Usually 6.Bd3 is done with the intention of playing the Milner-Barry Gambit, not as a "trap" per se. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 11:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
Budapest Trap[edit]
Which specific trap (in the Budapest Gambit, I would assume) is this supposed to be? I think this is a too vague of a reference and it should probably just be removed. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:40, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- I went ahead and removed Budapest Trap. In addition to being too vague of a reference, the Budapest Gambit is already in the list. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:02, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
