Continuing as I threatened to post parts of old blogs.
I'm enjoying looking back at some them....memories.
I'll try and do two a week till I catch up to the 2020's.
Back in 2010 I mentioned this interesting opening trap in the Hungarian.
Up to then (2010) 4 players on RHP had resigned here thinking they were lost.
zyga65 - hennion RHP.2005
scrumpymanjack - lbthree RHP 2006
AADavid1963 - Tukumnieks RHP 2007
baggies - Marko Krale RHP 2007
I advised one should play on with 7...0-0 when White has to tread carefully
pointing out bringing the Bishop back to c1 holding the b2 pawn fails to Nb4.
7.Bc1 Nb4
And who has caught who in a trap?
Time passed and another three players have since resigned after
7. Bxh6. But after 7...0-0 some have played on and in 2016...

You could take parts of old blogs, re-arrange them, and viola! A brand new blog!
You could maybe even automate with some clever script.
Oh! Wait a minute. Engine use in blogs - is that allowed?
@Wyn-Davies
I could do a re-hash of old blogs but that is not fair and not much of a challenge.
I was looking at some of the early stuff to see if the updates had affected them.
Not too bad, and some of the games are good. (funny blunder- Funders!)
@venda
I'm saying in the past I have mentioned a trap/pitfall and players who have
been members before that particular post later fall in the trap.
If they had seen the blog there is a chance they might not have fallen into it.
Having said that there are players who have fallen for the same trap twice
and even thrice. I think in those cases there is account sharing going on.
No real harm in it. Maybe a father and a couple of sons share an account
or a coach giving his account to different students to play opponents
and the coach can comment on the games (after they have finished.)
That does explain why a couple of players can play a near perfect win in a
KNB v K ending and yet a few years later frittered about not knowing how
to win it and eventually draw it going way past the 50 move rule.
