8. TRAPS
I shall now give a few positions or traps to be avoided in the openings, and in which (practice has shown) beginners are often caught.
Example 20.
White plays:
| 1. P × P | Kt × P |
Black should have recaptured with the Pawn.
| 2. Kt × Kt | B × Q | |
| 3. B × P ch | K - K 2 | |
| 4. Kt - Q 5 mate. |
