Improve Your Chess Games with Chess Tricks And Traps
If you want to improve your chess game, learn the basics first.� But once you get the basics, don�t stop there.� Move on to learning some chess tricks and traps.
Everyone who plays chess wants to get better at it, and usually, if you are new to chess or just a weaker player, then there is one specific person whom you wish to beat. However, each time you play that person you end up losing, always falling for this or that trap or making a bad move. You fail to see when it is that you are vulnerable and you can�t seem to capitalize on your opponent�s mistakes either. �
Once you establish a good base strategy, you need to learn how to recognize dangerous situations and potentially advantageous moves. You need to learn how to take advantage of your opponent while not succumbing to him. Below I list a number of traps that you can lay in chess. Use them yourself, and try to recognize them as your opponent uses them.

8. Nc3.
A pretty trap is quite rare but is played:

There is a chameleon variation to the Sicilian defense, which works as a trick that makes use of the trapping pattern. It plays:

1. c4 b6,
2. Nc3 Bb7,
3. e4 e6
4. Nf3 Bb4
