  • @Nola213 Look for "kasparov wrong move"

  • At the final position (the line in which the White player doesn't fall for the trap) moves like B5 make a good alternative, with the idea of Bb7 -> a6 -> b4 and c5

  • c'mon c'mon....doooo eeeet!! i'm heeeeyah!!

  • @senorgringolingo Back in the mists bishops were known as elephants

  • lol

  • @FinalBossDesu

    exactly, i knew about this when i was 1000, i cant believe someone would fall for it at KC's level. bad idea to try it unless for the lulz of losing :P

  • Very naughty indeed!

  • Thats a good one. I think this would work in blitz against someone who doesn't know the trap, but as far as over the board, you could try to immitate (I believe it was Kasparov, maybe Karpov) but the expression on his face when he blunder his queen in that famous you tube video. I can't seem to find it now, it was everywhere a few months ago. Wierd. But yea after you take his knight then look down to realize you left your Queen open you really need to make a gut wrenching expression.

  • Why is it called the "Elephant" trap?

  • Now this is a trap :)
