after 5....Qxp white can play 6. Nc3 Bb4 7. Rb1 Qa3 8. Rb3 and white is ok, even better
Game 1226230 What happens when you try to hold the pawn in a queen's gambit. This was with colors reversed.
Game 1117746 I love this one. I got another fellow with it, but the game's currently in progress. It works if black has his knight on b6 or f6.
Game 1018056 Classic Noah's ark trap.

Required is 18. Qa3 which leads to 18. ... Qxa3+ 19. Kxa3 Nxc3 =, anything else loses by force.

9. nxe5 was a little trap which he walked into.
Game 1681339
One of my favorite traps: Game 1573806
I felt that 8...Qd5 was premature, and I sought a way to punish him for it. I felt that 9...Bd6 was a mistake as he further trapped his queen. 10. Re1 was my setup giving support to the knight so I could play Bc3 forcing Qa5 keeping the queen within attacking range of my knight. I saw if I could get rid of his e6 bishop that I would have a nice discovered attack with Nxc6. Anyway, I was fairly proud of it at the time.
Not sure if this constitutes a trap, but I enjoyed the tactical advantages leaving my opponent with little choices: Game 1554216
It transposed into something of a Scotch Game, and for reasons unknown he decided to go with 5...Nxd4 allowing me to develop the queen with relative safety. The resultant battery along the d-file just put too much pressure on his king and his underdeveloped pieces that played an extremely passive defending role.
Originally posted by prosoccerTrue. This is probably better. It was a coaching game where I was posting ongoing commentary so I may have got a bit loose. What gets me is that he fell for the trap even though I told him there was one - but that he had to spot it. 😕
