Tricks, Traps & Swindles

Chess is not always the high minded game we like to make it out to be. Sometimes it gets dirty! Our opponent, instead of trying to defeat us using clever strategems instead tries to trick us into submission. We have listed here a collection of such tricks and traps so that you will know what to beware of. Of course we know you yourself would never even think about using any of these tricks and traps against your opponents. As you can see we only have one item to begin with. Stay tuned as more will follow in the fullness of time. If you have any favorite tricks, traps, swindles please do send them in to me. Contact me at frank124c@gmail.com or by clicking here.
