The Légal Trap is one of my favourite traps because it is characterized by one of the most dreaded sacrifices in chess, the queen sacrifice followed by a checkmate that too with minor pieces. The best part about this trap is that even if Black does not accept the sacrifice, white is still able to gain material. So, here is the trap.
But the player also needs to keep in mind all the variations of the trap to gain an advantage even if the game does not go as planned.
