1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 c5 5.Bg5 cxd4 6.Nxd4 e5 7.Ndb5 (7.Nf3 is better) 7...a6

White to move.

• 8.Nxd5 is bad because of 8...axb5 9.Nxf6+ Qxf6! (White was counting on 9...gxf6? 10.Qxd8+ Kxd8 11.Bxf6+) 10.Bxf6 Bb4+
• Better is 8.Qa4 but after 8...Bd7 9.cxd5 Qb6 Black has a good game.

Go to next trap, or to full game, or to beginning.
