This is a chess game

Paul Morphy, (1837-1884) born into a prominent New Orleans family, is universally considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. He was totally dominant during his very brief chess career and he was a master of all phases of the game. Morphy is remembered mostly for his brilliant attacking games, but he was also a fine strategist and regularly outplayed his opponents with subtle positional play, not just with his phenomenal tactical mastery. He was one of the earliest chess prodigies and was defeating masters by the age of 10. After graduating from law school at age 17, Morphy dominated the field in the 1857 American Chess Congress held in New York City. Morphy then took Europe by storm, defeating all of the top european players in match play during his extended visit to Europe during the years 1858-59.

Chess Trap #16 Bishop Trap

A classic trap from the queens gambit Category:  I play the queens gambit accepted. Its perfectly good and black has just a little more freedom to do active tactical stuff than in the declined variation at the expense of giving white an extra center pawn. besides kasparov, the current world champ, anand, is a big fan of it, as well as other top gms such as ivanchuk and topolov.

Chess Opening: Lasker's Trap

A discussion of Lasker's Trap, which shows up in the Albin Countergambit to the Queen's Gambit. I had to use WinBoard for this lecture because PGNMentor does not allow me to promote my pawn to a knight. :-(
this trap only applies to 4.e3?
4.Nf3 is the main line of the Albin Counter Gambit. 4.e4 is another possible move. Against either of these I would play ...Nc6 and just develop my pieces, using the pawn on d4 to constrict White's development... in theory. I have a couple other videos on this channel of me using this gambit, although I'm not sure of its overall soundness.

Chess Opening: Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense: Tarrasch's Trap

This is a chess discussion of a trap in the Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense. This is an important trap to know because it shows what happens if Black tries to hold the center in the Steinitz.

When Tarrasch beat Marco in 1892, it signaled the beginning of the end for the Old Steinitz Defense. Today the Neo-Steinitz, 3...a6 4.Ba4 d6, is much more popular because it avoids the trap in this video.

A great opening for beating

The Ponziani is the main aggressive/surprise opening I used as White when I climbed from 1600 USCF to eventually 2130 over about three years. My coach GM Alex Wojtkiewicz (R.I.P.) suggested it as an easy way to trip up class players who likely don't have time to study this somewhat obscure opening and figure they'll just play it over the board if they encounter it. Unfortunately for them, the "natural" moves are the wrong ones and they can easily fall into some traps. This opening is also good for online blitz and bullet games for the same reason.
