Here is a little known trap in my pet opening the 1...d5 Trompowsky. I hope you enjoy it. -Michael
p.s. I've written three chess books: "250 Deadly Checkmates," "150 Deadly Opening Traps" & "Chess for Beginners." You can see them/order at: http://www.geocities.com/jeffreyschess and you can check out sample chapters here:

@mcpartridgeboy Not really. You need to know your traps so you can defend yourself as well.

This has been called the Pseudo-Trompowski, The Chameleon, The Queen's Bishop Attack, the Lewitsky (Levitsky), the Hodgson Attack, and probably other names. James Paskett calls it "The Queen's Bishop Attack" in his book on it. Like many openings, it has various names, and I'm not sure any source can claim to have a definitive name for it. The problem with the other names is that almost no one recognizes them. Trompowski gets the idea across and the two usually transpose.
