Anti-Italian Gambit: Fork Attack, Middlegame Frankenstein Trap

Sekada

Considering chess has been around for hundreds of years, I don't see how anyone could come up with a trap that hasn't already been discovered.

This, like all the other 'traps' you have posted, is complete garbage!

Any person who has studied the Italian (and hence would be familiar with the Blackburne Shilling Gambit) would never play 5. Nxe5 due to 5. ...Qg5! Your 'traps' are so full of blunders on both sides that it gives me a good laugh to see the stupidity of them!

These posts have to qualify as spam or something, I'm so tired of seeing all of these random moves flooded in every openings post

The sledge trap:1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bx5 3.Na4?! Bxf2+!! 4.Kxf2 Qh4+ 5.Ke2? (Ke3 gives black a winning attack but this hangs 2 pawns )Qxe4+ 6.Kf2 Qxa4 and black is winning

I like to test new opening ideas on my friends and have learned that knight openings are fun but without pawn movement the entire game can be lost

Here's a common trap that results from the Rio Gambit.

Even if the trap is avoided, the position is solid for both sides.
