Miniature

Korch - will you please stop showing your games.

You are making me/us feel totally inadequate.

(another clever combination showing the value of stored mating
patterns. Three pieces always mate. Here Korch shows us two
pieces and a pawn are not too bad either).

You play them - I'll publish them.

I might just call the next C.C. 'Korch's Korner' (I think I will).

Well known opening trap which have given me a lot of points in blitz and also few points in OTB games.

There is a Glasgow league player who has twice caught players
with this trap as White and then lost!

My most succesful trap is the one in the Advanced French where
you play Bd3 and leave the d-pawn hanging - then win the Queen.
2 victims OTB - countless in 5 minutes and simuls.

1.e4 e6
2.d4 d5
3.e5 c5
4.c3 Nc6
5.Nf3 Qb6
6.Bd3 cxd4
7.cxd4 Nxd4
8.Nxd4 Qxd4
9.Bb5+ and then Qxd4

Anybody else got a pet trap?

1 minute game for Morra gambit fans 🙂

The game v Paxiencia that ends with the Knight mate is a good game.
