Opening Traps Made Easy Part 2

IntroductionPlaying through opening tactics can be a lot of fun. Also learning them gives you the opportunity to try them on your opponents. Studying them also helps prevent you from falling into them.

As a chess coach I recommend studying opening traps as one of the best way for new players to learn openings. Not only does studying opening traps develop familiarity with openings in general, it can also help develop your tactical skill in the middlegame and endgame.

This book uses hundreds of large clear color chess diagrams. It is presumed the reader has familiarity with chess rules and Algebraic notation.

How This Book is WrittenThis book consists of a collection of hundreds of short games with brief notes. Most of these games I have either played or watched while they were being played. In some cases the games have been played many times. Some games include well known opening traps, some with names, others without. Games are in approximate alphabetical order of their moves.
