Take a look at the following position (White has just played d5).
Your task is to find a trap in the (short) variations which could follow...
A trap for whom? I hear you ask. Does that really matter? ¡¡¡THIS IS PURE CHESS!!



The answer will be posted soon. Keep checking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Here's the answer:

One variation one should definitely take into account is the following:
(after white's 1.d5) 1...exf 2.dxc fxg and now it looks like white's losing a pawn because if he plays 3.cxb7? Bxb7 and the Pawn on g2 is protected. Ok, that was easy to see. The tricky move comes if white plays 3.cxd7+ instead: black then has the surprising 3...Nfxd7!! after which WHITE MUST RESIGN!!
