The Trap (Game 5,White)



Often laying a trap is an effective way of defeating the enemy.

Deliberate vulnerability. 


The opening progresses normally but White's doubling the Pawns on the c column makes Black over confident.

Worth trying. 


Black seems to think that the c column is a good spot to attack.

Set the trap. 


White offers the g2 Pawn for free.

Too tempting. 


Black decides that preventing White from castling is to good an offer to refuse.

Spring the trap.... 


Now it's clear! White has complete control.

Open wide. 


There's nothing that Black can do. The only thing it can do is try to escape through e7. White won't let that happen.

Simplicity. 


The Checkmate is not spectacular but does the job.
