Funny how you feel qualified to say that some opening trap is bad when engine says its still better for you even if your opponent somehow plays the best moves. The first trap for example has been used against titled players successfully even GM’s. For most people these traps do work. The avarage player isnt 1600. Their opponents will not play 10 moves perfectly against some fried liver sideline.
I think you didnt get the point of these videos. i show how you should play rather than hope chess. in most of these variations, if your opponent doesnt play a blunder you end up worse. i m helping. dont take it this way 😅
@@chessscape its not hope chess if its still better for you according to stockfish. In lower elo you absolutely should play traps. 90% of your opponents wont play correctly and that is just statistics. You arent hoping for anything. You know for a fact that you will win most of the time if you know the lines better. Or you can try play mainline and lose the match when someone plays a gambit themselves and you have no idea how to respond.
2:03 ... when I put it to stockfish, it said it is only an inaccuracy(-0.4). only Bg5 is an excellent move others are best, great or brilliant. I have still willing to sac 0.5 advantage for a trap though I am not going to play that opening, I am playing e4. 7:25 Lichess have that and Ba4 is indeed the most played move in that position(31% or 1.38 million played. second most played move Qf3 have 27% or 1.22 million played) after h3, Nf3 is the most played move(84% 589K played since h3 only have 701K). e4 (81%/475K), most played move are Qe2 (with 37%/176K) and Ne5 (31%/148K). Be6 (16%/28K played. Be7 is the most played move with 54%/95K played), the most played move is Ne5 (54%/15K) and second most played move is 🤔 Nd4?? (with 20%/5.5K played). Qd4 (78%/11K.), Bxc6+ is the most played move (70%/8.2K played) and second most played move is Nxc6 (29%/3,999 played (Idk why it is 999)). Nxc6 (100%/8.1K. 🤣100 players resigned after Bxc6 and we don't talk about other moves, only 3,2,1,1 time played), Nxc6 is the most played move (97%/7.94K played) and well Qb5 have only 218 played and 🤔🤔🤔 ??Qxe4 was play once?. Qc5 (93%/7.34K played), most played move is Qa6 (79%/5.76K), second most played move is Nxa7 (14%/1.04K). Bc8 (58%/3.32K played and second most played is Bc4 with 10%/575 times played which have its win rate went from 78% for black to 65% for white), Qa4 is the most played move(69%/2.28K), b4 is the second most played move(24%/786). Bd7(99%/2.26K others well 5,3,2,2,1,1 times played), the most played move is b4 (32%/697), other moves are O-O (18%/399), d4 (18%/388) and Nc3 (14%/308). and after that I don't think I need to say anything but black is just completely winning. 7:44 stockfish said white plays all the best move so even if white didn't blunder Ba4, it is still an equal position.
Honestly that last "trap" seems fine. From what I know black made all the main line two knights defense moves until white blundered, and memorizing a way to punish a common blunder is fine. If the opponent doesn't fall for it you just played a main line opening.
7:14 bishop a4 is the most common move according to the lichess database With over 500k players have played this move in every elo range 3.2k players played this on 400 elo
@@chessscape im not saying all beginners play this, im saying this is the most common move on any elo range And the previous move by black is worth playing against beginners Lichess database accuracy is ranked by percentage. In this case, Ba4 is played by 55% of players 400 to 1000 elo in lichess
It's good that you're busting these opening trap myths. Chess isn't about moving something and hoping the opponent sticks to the script. You wouldn't rob a bank with a knife and hope that they give you the money. Their choices are give you the money, press the alarm or attack you. Never play moves where the opponent can turn the pressure on you. Force your opponent to make a decision. The most forcing move in Chess is a check.
New challenge idea. I’ll give you (whoever read this) an opening trap and you have to find which move is the mistake and why is it a mistake. 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5. f3 exf3 6. Nxf3 e6 7. Bd3 Be7 8. O-O O-O 9. Qe1 b6 And now white can play Qh4 with a huge attack on black. What move is wrong for black that allow this opening trap to happen, why is it wrong. what should you play instead and why is the new move good?
I play the English. Specifically the Botvinnik System, and I never even think about tactics. I’ll use one at the end to mate someone, but I’m not thinking of mate in the first 10 moves. That’s for 1.e4 players.
Well yeah but some openings give you a good position and contain a lot of traps, like for example, the albin countergambit... I think that I've played the lasker trap line twice and I'm just one person, and the queen's gambit isn't even that common, or at least not at my level
But what if white plays Nc3 instead of Qa5 in 8:22? It stops Bb5 from white stoping the fork. Also, white was kinda back in development so why not develop a knight to c3?
I will teach a trick to you to always win. Before the game (or during) offer them money. If they say no offer them more. You will end up winning 100 % of the time. And if somehow you end up with someone never accepting money get a good gun... Works with me every time and this strategy made me the best chess player in the world.
for a database to be reliable, you need to download a file every week on tuesday called Tweek with all games played internationally. I played 30 years… “this guy” (me) thinks you dont know what you re talking about
@@licha11because there is no such way to be able to get all games played worldwide. statistics are always tricky to interpret. if you play your grandpa, is the game on a database? of course not.. thats my point

The problem with opening traps is that you begin to play 'Hope chess'. And if things don't go according to plan, you end up having an unpleasant game
That’s what I say to my 600 elo classmates but they won’t listen and by that they won’t improve
Facts.

About the fried liver trap, according to the lichess database, regarding everyone below 1600, bishop a4 is truly the most common move.
damn
1600 is actually a crazy range (which means anyone can be 1600)
Like me over here im 700 and im playing consistently like 1000 (I can only play 1 game per day bc i dont have a membership :( )
Except in lichess your starting elo is 1500
This is the opening trap video we need
thx! i really enjoy doing these 😍
I put it the other way - One who makes fewer blunders wins the game 😂 - I made a video too on this topic, COMEDY of BLUNDERS.

you realise that lichess cannot get hold of all beginner games played in the world right? :)
@@chessscape yeah but at least it have some information.
I ain't reading allat
@@Alex-gu3vi I didn't ask you to.
Are your fingers okay?
a grand-master fell for the first trap

My man ✌🏻 again, great videos like always, keep it up and please dont stop making videos
This is a good kind of video
5:40 Nd4 almost always works cuz they always play d6
Why is this STILL not popular? :(
Chessscape is back omg 😢 I missed you man.
you have 4 videos to catch up on haha
7:14 bishop a4 is the most common move according to the lichess database
With over 500k players have played this move in every elo range
3.2k players played this on 400 elo
yes but… do we know what all beginners really play or how accurate is lichess database?
@@chessscape im not saying all beginners play this, im saying this is the most common move on any elo range

very well said 😍 i couldnt agree more
I love this format)
Hey Arsenniy! :)
Some people know a trap and still fall for it
😆
scholars mate
New challenge idea. I’ll give you (whoever read this) an opening trap and you have to find which move is the mistake and why is it a mistake.
1. d4 d5
2. e4 dxe4
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5 Nbd7
5. f3 exf3
6. Nxf3 e6
7. Bd3 Be7
8. O-O O-O
9. Qe1 b6
And now white can play Qh4 with a huge attack on black. What move is wrong for black that allow this opening trap to happen, why is it wrong. what should you play instead and why is the new move good?
Screw the rules. I have money.
I play the English. Specifically the Botvinnik System, and I never even think about tactics. I’ll use one at the end to mate someone, but I’m not thinking of mate in the first 10 moves. That’s for 1.e4 players.
Nice and informative video. I liked it!

i ll cover all possible gambits with time
But what if white plays Nc3 instead of Qa5 in 8:22? It stops Bb5 from white stoping the fork. Also, white was kinda back in development so why not develop a knight to c3?
Thank you for the good tips
Then Is fishing pole trap is also bad?
What is this game called I have never seen it before. Is it checkers ?
Opening traps are lines you should avoid playing and playing against
you can also play bc5
Thanks for the video! Lost 8 games in a row and am trying to get my elo back up again.
take a break first, focus again, get some rest then try crushing them again 😉

should i continue the reaction videos? i like them 😅
Of currrrrrse.
Like you say.😅
Did you see the Mate in 5 i made for you? PS: I'm a big fan
Hi I am a big Fan
Trapping opponents ??

ok, why do you said "do we have a database with the moves of everybody in the world? no we don't"
