Chess Quote
The most important feature of the Chess position is the activity of the pieces. This is absolutely fundamental in all phases of the game: Opening, Middlegame and especially Endgame. The primary constraint on a piece's activity is the Pawn structure. ~ Michael SteanChess Talk

Lasker's Trap can be very powerful weapon for Black in Albin Counter gambit variation. The unusual though very powerful feature of Lasker Trap is underpromotion on seventh move. It is a good idea to use this opening in quick games since it is not very often played and your opponent most likely would be unprepared for it. Let's take a closer look:
-- White hopes to face "standardized" d4 opening lines such as 2...e6 or 2...c6 (Slav/Semi Slav) but, here the surprise comes: 2...e5. Black attacks the center directly offering a counter gambit for White's Queen's Gambit, called Albin Counter gambit. 3. dxe5 d4 4.e3? |
