Mortimer Trap in the Ruy Lopez

Submitted by Ripper89 on Fri, 08/14/2009 at 2:24am.

The Mortimer trap is no big deal and better players won't fall for it but I thought it will be useful if I post it.I found interesting videos on youtube so more will come...Enjoy:

I recently used this trap with success in a tournament game against an opponent rated 300 points higher than myself. I was winning until I timed out (I moved across the country this week and the tournament did not allow for vacation time). I would post the game, but it did not progress much further beyond the trap before I timed out.
