Welcome to Winning Chess Tricks, Traps, and Gambits!

 Welcome to Winning Chess Tricks, Traps and Gambits! Website

Below you will find chess trap examples from my book: Winning Chess Tricks, Traps, and Gambits!.     Also,  I've included additional chess traps that didn't make the final book cut and chess traps that I found after the book was printed.

I wrote this book because I was tired of losing games online so quickly!  I've been playing chess for nearly 40 years but I was losing my queen and getting checkmated in just a couple of moves!   I knew I must be getting caught in a trap!   

I started to recognize that different people were playing some the same traps so I decided to write them down and learn how to defeat them.   After I gathered information for many traps, I figured I had enough material to share in a book for others to learn as well.

Here are a list of all the chess traps that appear in the book:

  • Duras Gambit
  • Fools Mate
  • Hopton Attack
  • Jerome Gambit
  • Blackburne Shilling Gambit
  • Fried Liver Attack
  • Traxler Countergambit
  • Fritz Attack
  • The Legal Trap
  • Magnus Smith Trap
  • Stafford Gambit
  • Fishing Pole Trap
  • Rio Gambit Trap
  • Mortimer Trap
  • Scotch Game Gambit Trap
  • Wing Gambit Trap
  • Heisenberg Trap
  • Jobava London Trap
  • Englund Gambit
  • Lasker Trap
  • Queen's Gambit Accepted - Old Variation Trap
  • Kieninger Trap
  • Elephant Trap

The following bonus material and traps: 

  • The Greek Gift Sacrifice
  • Noah's Ark Trap
  • Siberian Trap
  • Rubinstein Trap
  • Tarrasch Trap
  • Marshall Trap

I will continue to update the site with more chess traps as I learn them.  Feel free to contact or email me your favorite traps at winningchesstraps@gmail.com.
