if you trap you know what to do it...

It was, in fact, not a trap. Since 17...Bg7 was simply an inferior position, I went for complications and missed a few of white's moves.

What do you mean, download? 19.Qc5 was never played, whether in the game or in the analysis.

19. Qc5 isn't a legal move...?

someone needs to castle sooner lol

a trap when recognize as dangerous will no longer be atrap as the  enemy will look into moves that may undermine your position by wasting a trap move

the dangers of using a trap is it may fall back on youonce your enemy recognize as the enemy is  always searching  for moves  to counter attack it may not improve your positionas he will not fall into the bait of your trap

if you fall into a traptis disadvantageous but there are so many positions that are also advantageous just be  prepared to engage your enemy move by move until positions are favorable for you to win

Nice commentary, thanks.

As a devout adherant to the GPA, I always like to see annotated games where white wins using the Grand Prix Attack.  I don't see the e5 push very often - usually its an f5 push that early.  Good stuff, thanks.

well,the idea of laying a trap is to make sure it gets the other guy and not you....you have to have done your homework.

okay wow thats quite a complex one

The trap, if it was indeed a trap, was Black's fifteenth move, 15... d5, the idea behind which was to capture my d pawn should White push it up to chase away the Bishop. Unfortunately (for Black), White saw further and realised that this lost a piece (at least) after Qd3 at some stage. By the time Black resigned, some severe loss of material was inevitable.

hmm i fail to see the trap here.
But perhaps you can name the trap i played in this little game .
Well I assume I'm not the first one who played it so it probably has a name.
Although I'm not sure it has a name.
I just played it by accident purely on intuition.
