How the King's Pawn Opening: White Queen Trap #2 works
The King's Pawn Opening: White Queen Trap #2 is a classic chess opening trap arising from the King's pawn opening. In this line Black wins decisive material by move 10, punishing a natural-looking but losing idea from White.
The full sequence runs 1.e4 g5 2.d4 g4 3.Qxg4 d5 4.Qf3 dxe4 5.Qxe4 Nf6 6.Qh4 Rg8 7.Nf3 Rg4 8.Qh3 Re4+ 9.Be3 Bxh3 10.gxh3. Each move looks reasonable, which is exactly why the trap is so effective over the board — White walks into it while trying to play "normal" developing moves.
