Lovely. I wonder if your opponent was scratching his head in bewilderment over your promotion.

lol, aye the Lasker trap in the Albin counter gambit i think its called, I had a similar
game on here,



I usually shy away from traps, because there are many that if we follow and they don't
succeed they wreck or position, but this one is sound 🙂

That's an ancient gem from the year 1800 and spot.
Always good to see the unread get a lesson.

I count 39 victims of this trap on RHP.
Michas User 93247 has caught 7 players with it.

39 traps sprung and 38 Black wins.
Here is the sole (to date) White win.

Black trades Queens 8...Qxd1+? the correct follow up is 8...Qh4+
More slack play from Black and White is right back in the game.
Black walks into a Magnus skewer (don't know if this lad tried to take the move back.)
