Chess Traps- Lasker Trap
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2009
- Today we look a chess trap called the Lasker Trap which comes from the Albin Countergambit against white's Queen's Gambit. If white is not careful than he can find himself in a lot of pain very quickly and with the help of an underpromotion on the 7th move, black can have the white king running all over the board. It's a great trap for black.
the funniest part of this trap is promoting to a knight
Overlord Ghs I was first heard about this trap after reading about examples where it makes sense to promote pawns to something besides a queen.
best choices is a queen, or a knight, because a queen can move like a rook and a bishop, except the knight
it's funny for you if you don't know how to play with the knight lol! if you didn't see it's purpose you gonna lose :)
If he doesn’t promote a knight white can simply capture black’s queen and then black’s king respond and capture white’s queen and then white can capture the promoted queen
.
if you promote to a queen then he'll grab your d8 queen with his queen and when you capture it back then he can capture your second queen. final result: you gave up a bishop for a knight in an open position and you're down a pawn. that's why you need to promote to a knight so you can give check and be a tempo ahead
promote too a knight lol
Holy shit this trap is beautiful
+Hetzerogeneous emanuel lasker was a beautiful man
Damn right.

pure pawnage...
I'll have to try this one day.
...One single pawn can be the hero of the game.
I pulled this off once. It was sweet! My opponent didn't share at all in my pleasure.
Haha! I bet not.
Played it against a low level computer and won :D Best part was I didn't know the name of the trap and only played what I thought were natural moves.
😡😡😤😠
glad to hear the videos are getting better and better. That is definitely my goal. I will def put this on the list of videos to make. I'm always trying to put out what people want to see.
that's awesome. Always glad to hear when traps work cause it's soo much fun.
Used this trap so many times just luv it, ur opponent straight away resigns,cheers!
At 3:10 why cant the bishop immediately come and check the king to win the queen? Why do we have to promote the knight?
+Samson W The white knight would then simply move to f3 to block the threat (no Queen capture) and would take away the pawn's promotion/underpromotion, while at the same time you would no longer be capturing their knight for a pawn. This is why pawn captures knight comes 1st. And the reason that it underpromotes to a knight instead of a Queen is because otherwise white would capture your Queen on d8, giving check and after KxQ, then rook would capture the promoted queen and you would also lose the right to castle. By doing this order you win a knight, keep your Queen in the attack and they can't simply capture your newly created knight the next move otherwise then they would lose Their Queen for a bishop in 2 moves.
Chris Smith thank you; good explanation
thanks for the great feedback.
gotcha, i'll make sure i go over how to avoid in future videos. thanks for feedback.
This is def. a great one to keep in your arsenal ... thechesswebsite and jrobi are by far THE best chess channels on CZcams
I just caught an opponent in the lasker trap, in a 1 minute game, thanks to this video! Queen’s pawn opening > queens gambit > albin counter > lasker trap!!! I may have messed it up at the end though 😅. But I’m still proud of myself haha
No. The reasoning for promoting to the Knight is because of tempo (gaining time). It forces White to first deal with the fact that he is in check. If Black promotes to a Queen, then White can play Qxd8-check, Kxd8 Rxg2 and now Bg4-check is not a skewer.
at 4.00 black can check on d4 with queen after that ıf white plays bishop d3 queen can take the pawn on b2 and check again no need for nc6 loosing tempo
Ty 7 years ago person
very nice game. I see white have so much trouble against the albin counter gambit. Soo many times the white king is just running around the board.
Definitely everybody should know that trap, even if not playing this moves sequence.
Great trap, no doubt!!! Thanks for the video, the only thing I'm not too crazy about is the intro music.
I like the intro music.
2:38 Why can't the pawn on F2 take the pawn on E3?
I wondered that too JB.
Donald Clark I am not good at chess, but opening up the diagonal line to the K is often suicide. I could not find immediate checkmating lines, but I suspect it's not a good move.
Michael Bauers Turns out the move James and Donald suggested is solid and is probably the correct play. I guess white has to take with the B to fall into the trap. There's another Lasker trap video which explains the pawn capture.
it's the best move in the position but black still has the advantage
It saves white from immediate annihilation, but creates a double isolated pawn. And the bishop is pinned against the queen and the king. Not a pleasant position for white at all.
1:35 Ng1 to f3 would be a more common move, even for a beginner.
In fact, it's the best move and the main line. Sometimes you just have to play chess
how does white respond to N to f3?
Now we can deploy our submarine to an advantageous position.
"But he's going to be mistakenly wrong"... as opposed to mistaken, or just wrong... great grasp of oral English, Kevin.
This is the trap which really worked for me 4 times in the last 7 seven games with little variations
Idk if you got an answer, but that is the best move for white. Black has a slight advantage due to the doubled pawns, but they have avoided the rest of the trap
The Lasker Trap is a chess opening trap in the Albin Countergambit, named after Emanuel Lasker, although it was first noted by Serafino Dubois (Hooper & Whyld 1996, p. 219). It is unusual in that it features an underpromotion as early as the seventh move.

As white I love using the Queen's Gambit, nice to see a good way to defend as black, I know what to look out for now. Thanks for the video's, love em.
Dat intro doh
Isaac Trenton dadada duruhduh dadadada
This is really offensive play I love it haha
Hi, I liked the trap video, but it would really be helpful, if you would give some lines, how to refute 4. E3 b5 if the bishop is not taken. Because you call it a mistake, which means that there has to be a way to refute it, no matter what the follow up of our opponent is.
"THIS IS JUST A... DEVASTATING MOVE" His pet phrase lol.
I haven't used this trap before, but it looks like it can be devastating for your opponent. Especially with the early pawn confusion for white.
Wow what a devastating move set
i was hoping the comments for a chess video would be better than the rest of youtube...their not. great vid!
I literally burst out laughing when I heard the Glee music at the beginning. Haha very nice I can appreciate that on a chess video
Thanx I love your traps!!!
this one is good video explained very well in a short time pls. come out more with such type of video
I still use this trap to this day
I love devastating moves
2:33. Pawn on f2 can take pawn on e3. You failed to mention that
That's a way for white to avoid the trap. However, unless they know about the trap, in which case they wouldn't be in this position in the first place, they would absolutely prefer taking the bishop, thinking they are gaining a massive advantage (which they are obviously not).
Of course even if they don't know about the trap, they might notice it anyway. That's a risk you take.
Also, even if white plays that, the position is still quite good for black. White has doubled pawns, which are also isolated. Black is pinning white's bishop. Nc6 easily takes back control of the centre.
@ MrWelshy1993: The knight forces him to move his king or take your knight. If he takes your knight, he loses his queen when you move bishop g4. If he moves his king, you continue your attack with queen to h4. On the other hand, if you promote to a queen, he takes your queen with his queen, and you have to re-take with your king. Then he takes your other queen with his rook, and you've lost your momentum.
@h4x7 He goes over this in Albin Counter Gamit video. If he does move the knight from g1 to f3 at 1:30 , this trap will not happen. However, black can still have a good game. Watch his video.
what does white do if black responds to the advancing pawn with knight to f3?
I'm slightly confused, at 2:40, why wouldn't white just take the black e pawn with his f pawn?
damn sneaky knights 3:29
2:30 what if the white pon on f2 eats the black pon on E3??
@thechesswebsite i think that what he is talking about is 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 d4 4. e3 Bb4+ 5. Nc3
what should black play here? trade the bishop for the knight?
@2:45 into the video, what if white takes the e3 with the pawn first adn then take the bishop on b4 later? What seem that this would break the trap.
I recently nailed someone with this trap in a correspondence game. Great fun.
Thank you Kevin for all your videos
After black pawn on d4 captures white pawn on e3 white can move queen to a4, check and then captures the black bishop on b4.
it´s great fun learning from you Kevin!
can someone please answer my question quick cause i have a tournament coming up in a few days :) at 4:03, instead of moving the knight, why does black not move Qd4+? this creates so many attacks such as the one on b2 and if the king moves into e1 again, black can Qe3+ then create even more attacks? am i missing something important here?
what if knight moves to F3 in response to the advancing pawn?
at 2:30 the white queen can follow the queen's gambit accepted lines, and check the king(poisoned bishop)- Qa4+, a typical response might be Bd7(hopefully not Nc6), then Qxb4 , and so the Lasker lines are completely DESTROYED. The pawn relies on the queen indirectly protecting it because of what the white king has to protect (Example: 2:55). I played this through far enough that white, if he checks the king with the queen, will be just fine. It’s a sharp play, but prudence will prevail.
at 2:35, what if white's pawn on f2 simply captures blacks pawn on e3?
2:38 - what about white pawn f2 takes black pawn on E3? Doesn't that leave it to anyone's game at that point? Great opening just curious of more alternate variations to the opening.
Qh4+ g3, Qe4 and white looses material.
@999duhast: Sure, it's a very common move. But it's not a sacrifice. You're not giving up your queen. You're exchanging equal material for a strategic advantage. Not being able to castle has two disadvantages. 1) your king is more exposed; and 2) your rook usually ends up stuck in the corner and is less useful. That's why you always want to castle as soon as you can and connect your rooks in the process.
what is white does fxe3 before capturing the bishop?
that's awesome to hear. this is why i do it. thanks.
Whites best move once you capture the pawn at E3 is to check you with their queen at A4. You then have to waste a move getting yourself out of check, their queen is no longer in danger, and you just lost your bishop.
I just played this today after watching. It was... beautiful.
Still getting some people with this one! Love the underpromotion
after pawn f2 check, and black king moves cant i just move bishop to g4 check right away winning the queen?
Why not fxe3 with the kingside pawn? Doesn't Black's attack fall apart?
Thanks! I'm new to this opening. Trying to play exclusively gambit.
I LOVE aggressive chess.
4.e3 isn't really a mistake, it just misses a better move, 4.Nf3. This inaccuracy is avoidable if one follows the simple opening axiom of pieces before pawns.
instead of the the bishop to d2 can't white bring knight to d2 then what would the black do ??? at 2:15
what does black do if after he has moved his pawn to e5 and white moves his kings knight to c6 (instead of his pawn to e3)...the trap no longer works. is there still an effective move for black??
You forgot the Ohio Class ballistic missile submarine
Good point
2:39, what happen if White fxe3? Then Black Bishop capture White Bishop?
i do like that trap, i'll try it the next time i come across with the queen's gambit
99% of the time your opponent won't play the moves to fall into these traps.The main benefit in studying these is to learn the strategies behind them,so you can analyze how to take advantage of any misplays.
it sounded pretty happy to me
Another one that is straight forward outstanding! Thanks.
the reason white took the pawn on e3 was to make a wall in front of the king for that fork on the rook and king can't happen so even if white plays g3 and black plays queen to e4 attacking the rook i white can play queen to f3 which defends the rook and is supported from the king knight while on the other side of the board the bishop is still supported by the queen knight
we promote to a knight so the king is in check. If we promote to a queen, then white can capture our queen on d8 and then our new queen that we just promoted to. We lose our initiative and our advantage
@thechesswebsite
I'm sure he meant at 2:13, the opponent moves his knight to d2.
Then we would continue as if he blocked it with the bishop, no?
what if they use the knight instead of bishop to block the check?
Then the trap doesn't work, white will take the pawn on e3 and the game continues. You can go Qh4+ to force white to weaken his kingside tho, and Black will be slightly better.
very nice dude...I used this once or twice till now and it was sucessful. My favourite trap. Good video btw.
3:15 - wouldn't it be better for black to move 7. ... Bg4+?
It seems to be better than underpromoting the pawn to knight and gets the queen?
Ankit Bajaj lol white has a knight to defend it
Awesome trap.
And what if he has already moved his knight?
if white moves out the knight to f3 before he moves , I won't be able to take it with the pawn to e3. How does the knight's move affect the trap?
The trap only works if they go e3 at the start. If the knight comes out first, then Bg4 doesn't win the queen and even if the pawn reaches the second to last rank, there's nothing to capture there so it can't promote
1:35 what if they move nxf3?
knight can't take anything on f3, so the notation is just Nf3... for anyone that's on this video in 2020!
@@Digitalhealthhacker thank you. I am
I love the way this develops black.
What if from white intend of 5. Bd7 they make 5. Nd7?
no, knight blocks check and it protects bishop
Thanks for this video! I was reading about the lasher trap on Wikipedia, but I didn't et why at 7 ... xG1 white couldn't simply take the promoted pawn. I have a friend who loves the Queen's Gambit, do hopefully I can win a game for once!
Clear Explanations! Very Good and Awesome Trap!!!
hahahaha this is PAWN owning lol never saw this
pawn camptures e5 is a main line? Isnt e3 better?
@BlackOP, i think bringing out your knight to protect your king and bishop would be a good move. I cant say best, because i am only a 1500 player. This would likely be followed by the bishop eating yours, then you putting the king in check by eating the pawn, and when he moves or eats it, attack with your queen. In a gambit you will lose something, but try and make up for it with his king in a bad position....@rainer: if he eats the other pawn, take his with your queen, and if he checks next mo
I finally got to play this trap
That's awesome.
What if Nf3 is played instead of e3?
the problem I'm having is that after my d4 pawn takes their e3 pawn, they will just recapture my pawn with their f2 pawn. anyone able to help?
thanks for the input, ill keep that in mind
As with all traps, this one relies on the opponent playing poor moves. You are correct that 6.fxe3 lets White off the hook for some earlier inaccurate play. 6.Bxb4?? is the hook in this trap. If White is even a little bit wary of that advanced pawn, he won't jump at the bait on b4.
folks welcome back to the bobby boshow
no one will start the game as you start in your video, always start with the king pon.
but it's useful thanks
HITESH KUMAR Why? Many good players use the Queen's gambit.
+HITESH KUMAR The Sicilian Defense is typically used to counter 1.e4 with 1...c5. This opening actually gives White a win percentage of about 52% compared with moving the queen's pawn, which is around 54%.
+HITESH KUMAR Are you saying nobody starts 1. d4? Because that's the second most popular opening for white after 1. e4. (And e4 is played a little less than 50% of the time in tournaments. d4 is something around a third.) Or are you saying nobody will play 1. d4 d5 2. c4? Queen's Gambit is something like top five or six most popular openings.
@RandyIsC0o00o0L if white pieces move knight from g1 to f3 instead of pawn from a2 to a3. what should i do then (1:30)
A trap implies the opponent makes a mistake.
The best trap
