This is a short rapid game I played a few days ago on gameknot, I hope you enjoy it. The time control was 5 minutes + 10 seconds. I don't want to embarrass my opponent so I won't tell his username. | |
|
1. d4 |
My opponent had white pieces and game starts with d4. |
| | |
|
1... d5 2. c4 |
After d5, c4 we have queen's gambit. |
| | |
|
2... e5 |
e4, the signature move of Albin counter gambit. |
| | |
|
3. dxe5 |
My opponent accepts the gambit pawn. |
| | |
|
3... d4 |
D4, gaining space on the board. |
| | |
|
4. e3 |
White plays e3 which looks logical, hoping for dxe3 and then Bxe3 developing bishop by capturing the pawn, however this is an inaccuracy. |
| | |
|
4... Bb4+ |
Bb4+ I'm going for the famous trap line - The Lasker's trap. |
| | |
|
5. Bd2 dxe3 |
After Bd2, dxe3 the trap has been set, but will my opponent take the bait? To take or not to take? That is the question. |
| | |
|
6. Bxb4 |
White falls for it. The best move is actually fxe3, it may look ugly, but he would perhaps survive. |

6... exf2+ |
exf2+ King can not recapture because white would lose his queen. |
| | |
|
7. Ke2 |
Ke2 is the only move. |
| | |
|
7... fxg1=N+ |
Fxg1=N+ under promoting to a knight with check. Promoting to any other piece would not work, because white has a in-between move Qxd8+, after Kxd8 white can then capture whichever piece the pawn promoted to with the rook. The best move in this position is actually Ke1 and black would follow with Qh4+. White is in deep trouble now, any inaccurate move would be devastating. Capturing the knight with rook would be a blunder... |

8. Rxg1 |
White captures anyway... |
| | |
|
8... Bg4+ |
Bg4+ and he resigned. My opponent was not aware of this trap and cost him the game. |
