Qxf7+ rxf7 re8#
Rooke8
@6:02, how about h4 instead of h3. Seems to stop the attack somehow.
14:30 QxF7 and Re8 or Qxf8
1.Qf7 Rf7 2. Re8#
At time of 6.00 . White Kinight can take the pawn at g5 and break the attack? Please enlighten me
Just played with the first trap, opponent fell right into the trap, some variation happened. I ended up forking his king and queen with no way our for his queen. He resigned. LETS GO!!!!!
Castle to e8
Was it g4?
N×f7±
1.Qxf7, Rxf7, 2. Re8#
14:24 1. Q:f7+ Rf7 2. Re8#
14:20 rook e8
I’m gonna guess the sequence is Queen takes pawn check , bishop takes rook check then slide your rook all the way down for the mate 😅
Great bait to get the Queen away from the king 🔥
Re8, Black rook captured,Qxf7,black queen go to h8,Qxe8 checkmate
My answer: white plays queen takes f7(sac the queen) and after black plays rook takes f7, white plays rook e8 checkmate.
I wish I could remember all this.
gqueen f7 wins
becuse rook can back rank checkmate
Qxf7 rxf7 re8
Insane traps, which I haven't even heard before, although I often play Italian game
W Q x f7.
I'm really enjoying your videos. My children have gotten into chess amongst other board games. Its been a long time since I've played chess, now I've started playing again with my children the passion to play has been rekindled. .
14:21 my answer:
Forced checkmate by the following:
… Qx f7
Rxf7 Re8 #
variation 2:
… Qxf7 Kh8
Qxf8 #
December 11, 2022 still watching and learning at you🤗

So, in the first trap around 1:25…what if instead of moving bishop to e6 they instead castle. Is the trap still in the works or did that shut the trap down
Re8
Excellent 👍👍🙏🙏
Queen check
Rook takes queen
Mate in 1(rook)
Thanks for this great trap!!!!!
Re8!
Thanks. very helpful.
sac the rook on e8 rook captures to not get backranked queen takes f pawn putting in check and attaking the rook quuen moves back and then quuen captures rook for checkmate
challenge: Qxf7, Rxf7, Re8 checkmate
what if the opponent decides to take with pawn at 1:01?
14:28 You move THE ROOK to take THEIR ROOK! (reference to GothamChess)
at minute 6 the knight can take b5 pawn
@14:00 black can respond Nh6
On the challenge Re8 the rook is forced to capture then Qxf7+ the has one option which is go to Kh8 at last the queen captures the rook Qxe8#
You content is so good I've subscribed created 6 accounts to subscribe it… XD
You are always very optimistic. In 11:10 if white doesn´t take with the knight, but with the bishop, then white has increased positional advantage, I guess.
The sequence starting from 7:00 is awesome. Thanks for that. I wonder how much time he needed to think the whole move through.
tnx u r great coach
7:23 what if the knight captures the rook instead?
No one would fall for it exactly
Promise you that
For 14:21, Queen takes F7, Rook takes F7, RE4 TO E8 # cuz Pawn is pinned by Bishop on C4. Im not fluent in notation 😅 Will read it after
شكرا
Wow, Qxf7+, forces rook to capture, pinning itself because of the bishop on e4. Then Re8#.
You are doing great thing for chess👍
Qf7,RxQ,Re8 # Or Qf7, Kh8,QxR #
At 7:07, what if white plays pawn to h4 for himself? What is the best continuation?
