Not exactly a trap, but something to look out for as white playing against the Schliemann/Bulgarian Variation

Greetings,

Those are very nice diagrams to watch and study.

Confidentially, I just used the aforementioned Ruy Lopez Opening vs my brother, and I lost to his reply. He played the Classical variation of Ruy Lopez.
