Here is a game played by Don M with Black and on line. Don has a conservative style that lulls his opponent into a false sense that there is no danger in the position. Then....the trap springs with one misstep.
1. d4 d5
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5 Be7
5. Nf3 O-O
6. e3 Nbd7
7. Bd3 dxc4
8. Bxc4 c5
9. O-O a6
The last opening book move. White has a half pawn advantage says Igor3000. It looks even to us mere mortals.
10. Rc1 b5
11. Bb3 Bb7
Don just continues normal development. White is up (.4).
12. dxc5 Nxc5
13. Bc2 Qxd1
14. Rfxd1 Rfd8
15. Nd4 h6
16. Bh4 Rd7
17. Rd2? ........
It was time for White to do something with this sleepy bishop. Trading it off was the best option. Re-routing would be too slow, so 17. Bxf6 was the play. Black now has a slight advantage (-.3).
17. ...... Rad8?
18. Rcd1? .........
Igor3000 sees the error of their ways. White could have equalized with 18. Rdd1, g5 19. Bg3, Nd5 20. Nxd5, Bxd5 for an even game.
18. ........ g5
19. Bg3 b4
Don threatens to win material here, as you will soon see (if you don't already). White apparently just accepted to lose an exchange and didn't work to find the saving reply:
20. Na4, Nce4 21. Nb6, Nxd2
22. Nxd7, Rxd7 23. Rxd2 and White is only down a half pawn (-.5). Instead,
20. Nce2?? Nfe4
21. Bxe4 Nxe4
22. Rd3 Nxg3
23. Nxg3 e5
24. Ndf5? Rxd3
White is accepting his fate. 24. Ngf5, Bf8 25. f3 and White is down (-3) instead of (-6). Don finishes it easily.
25. Nxe7 Kf8
26. Rxd3 Rxd3
27. Nef5 Rd1+
28. Nf1 Be4
29, N5g3? Bd3
30. f3 Rb1
31. Kf2 Rxb2
32. Ke1 Bxf1
Resigns
