This trap comes from the sicilian defense. The sicilian defense is when you play e4 and then they play c5. There are a lot of variations in the opening. here are the main moves in this example, white is playing the grand prix which is how you get into the trap.

Of course these are not good moves for black but as you can see on move ten, when white plays qg3, they start setting up a powerful trap that would include a lot of fire power. Now let's get into the trap. The trap starts like this:

Can you solve the rest? Give it a try, here I'll start you off!

Now, I know black can ignore the queen and play bh5 but then white can play this!

White sacs the queen because if the black knight takes then we follow up with our previous plan. Now let's say black does not take and instead plays g6, can you find the winning move for white?

Good job! I'm going to give you one more puzzle, here try solving this! Thank you for reading this because this took me 45 minutes! I hope you continue to play chess with this club and invite your friends to join!
