I learned something. I didn't realize that trap had a name.Originally Posted by ER
I advise against that move order, because White could gain space with tempo compared to normal Benoni structures with 3.d5. Clearly you are not afraid of the Morra, so 2... cxd4 is fine.

Queen trap in Rubinstein French
An early queen trap, not original to me but handy to know.

Nice game CF. That's hilarious! playing the second knight to h5.
So what's your excuse? For running like the devil's chasing you?
See you in another life, brotha.

^ Odd way for White to give the exchange, I would at least want to get one of those monster bishops for it. Nice pawn mate in the centre of the board to finish.

^ delaying a3 in this line is not great but black has to know what he's doing. It's not right to say white is lost by move 7. The mistake here was 9.Rb1. You can instead go 9.axb4 Qxa1 10.Nce2 and white is far from lost, in fact the black queen can into trouble if black isn't careful.
