The Ruy Lopez is an incredibly popular opening at all levels of chess, from the amateur player up to top level grandmasters. It is considered as one of the best openings for white after the moves 1.e4 e5.

In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy is sharing with you the Tarrasch Trap, which is a famous opening trap in the Open Variation of the Ruy Lopez.

The Ruy Lopez opening is characterized by the following move sequence:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5

and after 3...a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Nxe4, we enter the Open Variation. After a couple of more moves, white is setting the trap by playing 11.Nd4, attacking black's bishop and knight simultaneously. If black plays 11...Qd7 to protect the knight, black falls into the trap and will lose a minor piece.
