  Knight13: 4... C6 is blunder.
Sep-13-04   Giancarlo: well, that being obvious in a 6 move game.
Oct-03-04   micsee: The Old Benoni offers a very similar opening trap for White: 1. d4 c5 2. dxc5 e6 3. b4 a5 4. c3 axb4 5. cxb4 6. Qf6
Mar-19-05   Mate Hunter: 3...b5 isn't a good move. It isn't very good to defence the pawn on c4 in QGA (Queen's Gambit Accepted). White could play 3.Qa4+ and win the pawn on c4 but it's not good move for white. Black will develope his pieces when white check and take the pawn with his queen.
May-01-05   halcyonteam: black loses by trying to hold on to the pawns. Pawns, when given away, let them be and not try to preserve them.
Oct-20-05   DeepBlade: Overextended Black pawns leave the Rook open for attacks, sounds obvious to me.

Black's Bad Points:
-overextended pawn structure
-exposed King/exposed Rook
-too many pawn moves (every pawn move creates a weakness)

White's Advantages:
-nice developement
-lot of space
-open file for the Rook

Nov-22-05   Chopin: It's amazing how many beginners fall for this trap. They feel the need to hold onto the pawn.
May-12-06   MagnaPsygnosis: yes <chopin>... That porves my point never to protect the b5 pawn....
May-15-06   FiveMinutesToWapner: All for a pawn. Tsk. It is a bit of an obscure move, however, to see that the rook is dead. Koodos to Greco on that one.
Jun-09-06   MagnaPsygnosis: <fiveminutestowapner> never actually thought of that as such..... good point
Oct-29-06   Archives: I don't get it... why did Black resign here?? He is up a Pawn and he resigns!?!?

  Open Defence: well doesnt he lose material after Qf3 ? a piece at least I think
Jan-06-07   Ch3ckmate: this trap has proved useful for me.
ive played 3 games, with my opponent falling for it.
Feb-05-07   Archives: Black a pawn up and he resigns??!!

I've seen some terrible resignations, but this is the worse.

Feb-06-07   crptone: yeah. wats wrong w/ u NN, y u being such a sore loser. if you do that again, ima beat u so hard. plus ur name sucks, sux 2 b u.
Feb-06-07   Archives: STBY!
Apr-23-07   Fourpointo: Black doesn't have to lose a rook. He could go 6. ...Bb7 7. Qxb7 Nd7, but he still has terrible position.
Apr-27-07   petrosian horse: Is NN trying to lose? He loses a lot of games really fast.
May-04-07   JMJ565X: i played a game today that followed these same lines after finding out about this trap. the game went 5...Nc3 6. Qxc3 Bd7 7. Qf3 and i won soon after
May-04-07   DMBFan23: <Archives: I don't get it... why did Black resign here?? He is up a Pawn and he resigns!?!?>

nice one

Nov-27-07   zahbaz: You know... This is why I like playing 3. e3 over 3.Nf3 as white. I like to tempt black into hanging on to the gambit pawn.

Against strong players, I may go with 3.Nf3...but 3.e3 is both solid and allows black to make some poor choices.

Feb-18-08   D.Observer: Nice analysis by <DeepBlade>.

  amadeus: 3.e3! - a nice move that every begginner should learn (the bad way)
Mar-25-09   WhiteRook48: 4...Bd7 is probably better
Sep-19-09   WhiteRook48: ....b5 is bad
