i discovered a trap a while back and i've been using it ever since, and it always wins. i dont know wat the name of the defense it worx on is but this is it:
1. e4 - e5
2. Nf3 - f6
3. Nxe5!- fxe5
4. Qh5+-....
in this position, the only two legal moves r g6 and Ke7- if g6, Qxe5 wins the rook and Ke7, there's this variation:
5. Qxe5+-Kf7
6. Bc4+- Kg6
5. Qf5+- Kh6
6. D4+-....
and i mate them pretty quickly, I was just wondering, has anybody heard of this trap or see a way to defend after Qh5+ ?
aw nuts, i thought i may have discovered something 😞 . the main reason i didnt know any of those opening names was because: I don't study openings 😲. i beleive it's a mistake to study openings because it's just memorization and you should study the endgame and tactics more because that helps you to understand chess. Neways, thx for telling me guys.

anyone who moves his/her f pawn to f3 on move 2 really doesn't know what's going on from the start, I believe. I had an IM tell me that's perhaps the worst move on the chessboard before move 10! 😲
Originally posted by RavelloYeah, it's actually not altogether terrible as long as Black doesn't commit suicide by taking the knight. But there's no question that Black will have an uphill battle.
However it has been played at master levels,in the thread link there's a Fischer game where his opponent played it and obtained a draw against him.
