What chess opening has the largest number of traps?

Answer 1

The opening that has the largest amount of traps in Chess is either the Fried Liver Attack in the Two Knights Defense or the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation of the Vienna Game. The Fried Liver Attack has the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7! Kxf7 7.Qf3+ Ke6(Ke8?? gets checkmated after 8.Bxd5! Bc5?? 9.Qf7#.) The Frankenstein-Dracula Variation goes somewhat like this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Qh5(if Nxe4? then 4...d5!, which wins a pawn at the least.) 4...Nd6 5.Bb3 Nc6 6.Nb5 g6(if Nxb5??, then Qxf7#!) 7.Qf3 f5 8.Qd5 Qe7 9.Nxc7+! Kd8 10.Nxa8. If you are Black, don't play the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation because you'll end up down four points, or in more practical terms, White would have won a rook for a pawn.
