"Traps" in chess defy a precise definition. For the most part, they are attractive plays of a tactical nature that initially appear harmless and often tempting, as they promise good play or even an advantage. However, as a result of a little carelessness, they quickly lead to a more or less major catastrophe, at least materially or positionally disadvantageous for the "victim". Traps are undoubtedly particularly attractive when they use cunning and trickery to lure the opponent into disaster. And schadenfreude, supposedly the most beautiful of all pleasures, may also subliminally contribute to the fact that playing traps in chess and especially in the opening is perceived by the observer with a specific pleasure. The author and subsequent editors have compiled a total of 234 traps for this book, organised by opening, extensively annotated and updated and enriched with occasional brainteasers, and an introductory chapter with further examples conveys the basic ideas of trap play. This gives the reader an overview of the most important openings with a focus on the dangers that can lurk everywhere in the form of hidden pitfalls, but which, after reading the book in detail, he will be sure to recognise and avoid when he encounters them at the board. The chess master Eugène Snosko-Borowski (1884-1954) was a Russian exile living in Paris who emigrated to France after the Russian Revolution and became known in Germany in particular for his books. These were primarily tailored to the club player and written in a pleasing and fluent style, which made them exceptionally popular. One of his most popular works is still So darfst Du nicht Schach spielen (available from our publishing house). But the 17th edition (. ) of his work on opening traps (German first edition 1939) is also an indestructible classic and has inspired many generations of chess players.
