| An Englishman: Good Evening: I thought this trap was older than 1848. |

| aw1988: <iron maiden: This is a very well-known trap, almost too famous for a daily puzzle.> Another "well known trap" which I stupidly missed. |

| patzer2: For those familiar with the Cambridge Springs Defense (ECO code D52) to the Queen's gambit, this game represents a well known trap. The game could have entered the Cambridge Springs Defense proper after 5. e3 c6 6. Nf3 Qa5. A discussion of the Cambridge Springs Defense can be found at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/home... |

| patzer2: White's blunder was 6. Nxd5?? After 6. e3 White is OK as in Dreev vs M Petursson, 2004. |

| aw1988: Some people have said that chess puzzles should say "Black to play and make the best move". While this is true I think it should expand itself a little: "Black to play and do better than aw1988". It would make a nice easy Monday puzzle anyone could solve. |

| Nickisimo: This belongs in one of Pandolfini's Traps and Zaps in the Opening books. :) I think instead of the Elephant trap it should be called the, "Oh my gosh I'm such a moron for not seeing that after Nxd5 Bxd8 and Bb4+ I lose a piece and am surely a worthless human being and my girl is sure to leave me now" trap. |

| kevin86: This trap and its several variations is exciting! An unsuspecting player sees a "blunder" that his opponent has made-only to fall for a loss of his own queen. The opponent gains a piece or a pawn as "interest on the loan". It also has a taste of LEGAL's mate to it. |

| briiian13: this is almost as famous as 1.f4 e5 2.g4 !! Qh4++ |

| briiian13: granite, before you attempt this queen sac just make sure your opponent did not make a move like Nf3 or pawn e3 so that the knight can block the bishop check or allow king escape to e2. |

| villasinian: a piece ahead in the opening always makes me feel so good. |

| DevastatioN: The Cambridge Springs... I fell for this variation in a tournament a long tim eago when I was rated 1600 or so, was pretty sad :( |

| Kriegspiel: I was just going over Marshall vs. Tarrasch, Nuremburg match (1) 1905, Queen's Gambit Declined, which also opens with D51; the game is annotated by Chernev in "Logical Chess: Move by Move" (Game 29), and after 4...Nbd7 he mentions this trap, "invented by Tarrasch"! Since Tarrasch was born in 1862, this is a little difficult to credit. Chernev seems quite informed enough to be aware of this trap as something previously and well known; how then to account for this? The only difference is that in Chernev's sequence, Black's bishop captures White's queen before his king captures the bishop, but I doubt very much that Tarrasch was the first to play that, and even if so, it hardly follows from such a minor variation in move order that he "invented" this trap.

Same type of trap, in a somewhat different setting. Here is the game: Fine vs M Yudovich Sr., 1937 |
