My shortest game

if 5. . . Be7 then 6. Qe7+ Qxe7 7. Nxe7 Kxe7
Black can't castle and the material is even. Not terrible, but quite a few people wouldn't play this. Also, Black could have been embarassed by the situation.

if 5.... Qe7 then 6.Nxe7
it's a well known trap and u won't easily get it unless u see it before

how is material even if black blocks with either his queen or bishop the knight takes the queen


I don't understand this. A player has worked hard enough to become a 1600 (nothing extraordinary, but not a beginner either) and decides to take up a new opening. No matter where he decides to look for info on the Petroff, this trap has to be one of the first things mentioned. Does this mean that the player spent less than 15 min. of research before taking up a new opening in a game? What kind of strategy is that?
Black can play Knight takes Knight right away on move 3 but has to play Queen e7 on the next move. Then when white plays QxN Black plays d6 and wins whites Knight and material is back to close to even(down a pawn instead of losing his queen). 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nxe4 4. Qe2 Qe7
5. Qxe4 d6 6.d4 d6xe5
That game shows a common trap in the russian defense. Black loses his queen to the knight after 5 . Nc6 check so material is not even there. Be7 is answered by NxQ.
Better for black on move 3 is d6 pushing whites Knight back and then black can take whites pawn on e4 without hassles.

You need to try look more than a normal oppening...sometimes if you are not prepare and don't study why the oponent is doing that.......you miss something and you are "dead"......
there are several classic oppenings.....and most of players go to that way, but sometimes I play with different players and see they are trying to trap me with easy/ending oppenings and if I'm not focus.....I got a problem who take me a lot of time to resolve....
This game is not only real and teaches you about an opening trap, it is entertaining, too.
You won't believe the ratings
