The Most Blatant Opening Chess Trap Ever

The Most Blatant Opening Chess Trap Ever

Only Chess

Clock


Two puzzles, one featuring what must be the most obvious opening trap
in Chess and yet it has caught more than 20 Red Hot Pawn players.

Then a study that drove me near to insanity. White to play and win.

I eventually solved it, though my solution is longer and ugly.

David Howell is great. I watch all the big events if he is commentating.

Dear greenpawn, thank you again for the work you put into that blog.

And yes I do read it (and think I have learned a thing or two). So the small error you put in to test us is:

It is Bb4 in the Walker-Graham game hint, not Bb4 😉

HI Ponderable,

'It is Bb4 in the Walker-Graham game hint, not Bb4 '

You have done the same as me! 😉 I've changed it to Bb5. Thanks.
