Talk:Vienna Game, Würzburger Trap

Poor example

Seems not much of a trap. In the final position 12... Nc6 13 Kd2 Bxd3 14 Kxd3 Nxe5 and Black has 3 pawns for the piece. White can then gain the initiative 15 Kc2 and then Bb2 is on it's way but still required accurate play to shown there is an advantage. ChessCreator (talk) 01:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

13 Bf4? O-O-O when 14 Kd2 is meet by Bxd3 15 Bxd3 Nb4 with advantage to Black. ChessCreator (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually black has a huge advantage in this example. With 13. ... Nd4 the Bishop is not only protected but can continue with 14. ... Bxb3. 15. ab Kxb3+ 16. ... Bxa1. This example is BS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.106.97 (talk) 22:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you mean 15...Nxb3+ and 16...Nxa1. But this doesn't work if White plays 14.Kc3, after which White has a clear advantage. --Zundark (talk) 13:11, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

merge?

There is so little here it may need to be merged into Vienna game. Bubba73 ^{(You talkin' to me?)}, 20:37, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the articles in Category:chess traps are short. This one isn't really much different than the others, so if this one is merged those probably should be merged too. (Disclosure: I created many of of the other articles in that category, but not this one.) Quale (talk) 22:02, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's keep it. Bubba73 ^{(You talkin' to me?)}, 23:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I too think this should be merged. Is there any significant mention of this trap in any reliable source besides the Oxford Companion? Is that by itself enough to justify an entire article on this trap, as opposed to a footnote in the Vienna Game article? Cobblet (talk) 07:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
