Avoid the trap

One opening trap a day for 7 days. You play the side that is about to be trapped — find a safe move. About two minutes a day, no account needed.

Start day 1
  1. 1 Scholar’s mate: guard f7
  2. 2 Blackburne Shilling Gambit: don’t take f7 with the knight
  3. 3 Caro-Kann: the smothered mate on d6
  4. 4 Budapest Gambit: the Kieninger trap
  5. 5 Vienna Game: guard f6
  6. 6 Englund Gambit: don’t walk into the pin
  7. 7 Légal’s mate: a pin to the queen is not a real pin
