Queen's Gambit Accepted Trap

Isn't a proper trap supposed to be something that isn't obviously horrible when you play it?

Usually only beginners will fall for this trap.

By that logic, this is a trap, also:

Kings Gambit Declined trap:

I know that trap TomBarrister, that's another case where one of the players gets greedy.

First thing that comes to mind:

Oh, and if 7... c6, then 8. Nxb5 cxb5 9. Qf3 Nc6 10. Rxb5 and white is on top of things once more.

Thanks fr answering for me, Azukikuru, I really wasn't on my computer lately.

what's wrong with this?

sorry, Now I see why your line is better.

Tarikhk, that's an interesting continuation, and it definitely works.  6...Bxc4 7.Qa4+ Qd7 8.Qxc4 and material is even and Black's queenside is weak.  I think I never played this line because since this line usually leads to open positions, I like to have the bishop pair.  White can then play for an e4 break and he should be better.

what about 6...Bc6?

After 6...Be6 I think I would go with 7.Nf3 followed by 8.Qf3 and 9.Nc3 and then try for an e4 break.  But if Black plays 7...e6, don't play Qb3 because you're not directly hitting f7. Instead, I think you should play 8. 0-0, followed by Nc3, Bd3, and try to set up your pieces for an e4 break, like a Colle.  Just bear in mind that my USCF rating is only 1600, so probably only 6-7 out of the 10 things I'm saying are right.

You're giving up your light squared bishop (important in QG) too easily
