Sicilian Paulsen: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.c4 Nf6 6.Nc3 Bb4 7.Qc2 Qc7 8.a3 Bxc3+ 9.Qxc3
Black has just exchanged his bishop for a knight on c3 and is already under a bit of pressure here; because quiet continuations like 9...d6 or 9...0-0 no longer equalize because of the white bishop pair. So many resort to 9...Nxe4? and soon face much bigger problems, since White gets a winning position after 10.Nb5!.
How do you continue after 10.Nb5! axb5 11.Qxg7 Rf8? Raienr Knaak shows you the solution in one of his videos in CBM #210!
As usual, we will analyze the opening traps of the last months, where both players should have at least a rating of 2000. You can also watch the traps 3, 7 and 8 in the video.
Catalan - update from CBM 205: 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 e6 3.Bg2 d5 4.0-0 Be7 5.c4 0-0 6.d4 c6 7.Nc3 b6 8.Ne5
IIt has already been shown that after the last white move 8.Ne5!? the most played 8...Bb7?! is strongly answered with 9.e4, because 9...Nbd7? 10.Nxc6! leads directly to a big white advantage. However, the position in the diagram has another trap in store, which Black falls into with 8...Nfd7? Although c6 is then covered, the disaster happens on the long diagonal: 9.cxd5! and so on.
Queen's Gambit - update from CBM 207: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 c6 6.e3 Qb6 7.Qc2 Ne4 8.Nxe4 dxe4 9.Qxe4+ Be6
IIn practice White usually castles long, but after 10...Qa5 he already has to be very careful not to get into a disadvantage. Much more difficult is Black's task after 10.Nf3 Qxb2 11.Rb1. Starting with 11...Qxa2 (in the game the weaker 11...Qc3+ was played) some precise moves have to be found to keep the balance. However, you should play through the game, which is only 14 moves long, to the end, also because of the beautiful finale.
Ruy Lopez - update from CBM 177: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 d6 5.Re1 Bd7 6.c3 Be7 7.d4 0-0
White's move should undoubtedly be a bit better, but many miss an important detail: the bishop b5 is uncovered. That's why the most played move 8.Nbd2? is answered with 8...Nxd4!
London System - update from CBM 191: 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3 c5 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.c3 Qb6 6.Qc2
With last move 6.Qc2!? White deviates from the main variation 6.Qb3 c4 7.Qc2 Bf5 8.Qc1 and many Black players believe that after immediately 6.Qc2 it continues the same way with 6...Bf5. But 7.dxc5! immediately forces an endgame (7...Bxc2 8.cxb6 axb6), in which the double b-pawn is a small but long-lasting handicap for Black.
Tarrasch Defence:1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.g3 Nf6 7.Bg2 Be7 8.0-0 0-0 9.b3 Ne4 10.Bb2 Bf6 11.Na4
Actually it's quite simple: after 11...b5? 12.Nxc5! Rxc5 13.Tc1 White wins back the piece and remains with an extra pawn. But many stop calculating after 12...Nxc5 and fall into the trap.
Pirc Defence:1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.Bc4 d5 5.exd5 b5 6.Bb3 b4
The somewhat unusual black setup tempts some white players to look for a refutation. They 'find it' with play on the long diagonal h1-a8 combined with an attack on f7. But in fact they fall right into the trap with 7.dxc6? bxc3 8.Qf3. Then 8...e6! 9.c7 Qxc7 10.Qxa8 Nc6 leads to a winning position for Black. However, the risk should not be underestimated. Many move the Nc3 away without much thought and then simply stand a little better.
Sicilian Paulsen: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.c4 Nf6 6.Nc3 Bb4 7.Qc2 Qc7 8.a3 Bxc3+ 9.Qxc3
Black has just exchanged his bishop for a knight on c3 and is already under a bit of pressure here; because quiet continuations like 9...d6 or 9...0-0 no longer equalize because of the white bishop pair. So many resort to 9...Nxe4? and soon face much bigger problems, since White gets a winning position after 10.Nb5!
French Advance Variation: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Qb6 6.a3 Nh6 7.b4 cxd4 8.cxd4 Nf5 9.Be3 Bd7
White played 10.Nc3 here, unpleasantly threatening 11.Na4. However, Black strikes first and with the typical pin motif 10...Nxe3 11.fxe3 Nxb4! 12.axb4 Bxb4 he wins a pawn.
