Chess game 5 - Costage (trap)

[simplyJacobB]

how exactly can you avoid the costage trap anyway?

[LordLucka]

@simplyJacobB Don't take the pawn on e5, just trade knights.

playing bullet games and fast blitz games, this works surprisingly well for people under 1500, and always give you a satisfaction when it all works out.

Seriously, I am just watching your videos for the music. You have some awesome tunes, bro

[Alternamaton]

This video should be linked to in the dictionary under "sophomoric"

[stonerftw94]

Why have you got three knights on the board, at all times, from 0:27 ?

[stonerftw94]

Good game though :)

[LordLucka]

Probably a mistake. Silly program. That's why I started recording live blitz games.

song?

You must be proud you beat a fairly poor chess player with a well-known trap, making a fancy video about. Eh...

[LordLucka]

I am only "proud" of it because this guy was one of the best players on the site AND because of the checkmating move.

[FASZODA]

Whew! OMG! Anyway, Nxf7 was a foolishness, Bxf7+ would have been clearly better.

[LordLucka]

Yep. In fact, after Bxf7+? most of variations lead to White's advantage.

[LordLucka]

Any of you who know this opening well: What can Black do if White play Ng4 after Qg5?
