A Vienna Game trap

Before seeing the video, please look at the above picture and read the text below... The Vienna Game chess opening starts as 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 (see the picture). Then the Vienna Game may run via this line: 2... Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Nxe4 d5! (strong Black move with better position for Black).

Note 1. Instead of 4.Nxe4, White should play 4. Qh5 Nd6 5. Qxe5+ (or 5.Bb3).
Note 2. Instead of 4.Nxe4, White may play 4.Bxf7+ with trapping threat.
Note 3. Now you are ready to see the below video on the Vienna Game trap.

The video will show you the Vienna Game trap as possible White answer for the Black attempt to conduct the nice positional combination on d5. This trap is possible only if the Black king makes a blunder. Learn this trap and know how to avoid it!

After the check on f7 by a White bishop, the Black king must return back to avoid the trap. If so, then the opening position will be equal. If not... See the video Vienna Game Learn This Trap by clicking the Play button below:
