Joined 19 Aug '12 Moves 3363 Which opening is that? a3 can be a Queen trap but in the Sicilian the pawn can be poisoned.
You can look at the Sicilian poisoned pawn games if you want to offer/take the poisoned pawn.

Joined 31 Jan '06 Moves 2597 A trap for an animal can be a trap whether the animal takes it or not. So, why not a chess trap?
