Traps in the Ruy Lopez
I dont understand - when you reach move 12 why doesn't black just reply fxe6?
I'm assuming you know this trap by black in the Exchange Variation:
I like this one because it takes advantage of the opponent's natural impulses to attack a "weak" piece and to move a threatened piece.
the fishing pole trap for black derives can derive from the ruy after white castles....i will post a move sequence once im not at work!
