Reversed Lasker Trap


That is really cool. I had wondered before if it were possible to do with white to black. I always thought it would be more difficult. I guess that depends.

Nice display of knowledge there!
His early ..c5 was rather naive in my opinion. The Albin is too strong to allow White to play up a tempo. I have achieved this in a tournament game, but a slightly different move order: 1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 c5 3.e4 dxe4 4.d5.
I'm ranked in the very low thousands, so humor me, but on move 7 why didn't the black King simply take f7? I'm missing the big problem with that move.

Nice trap! It's the Lasker Trap but for white instead of black. Check out these videos, they all relate to the above in some way:
