[A.J.G.]
Here is a nice trap ... that I have
caught dozens of victims in.
(In one form or the other.)
1.e4 c6;
2.d4 d5; 3.Nd2 dxe4; 4.Nxe4 Bf5; 5.Ng3 Bg6; 6.h4 h6;
7.Nf3 Nf6?!;
This looks good, as Black hits center squares, develops a piece and gets ready to castle.
But this move is a common mistake ...
Black had to play 7...Kt-Q2 to guard the vital e5-square against invasion.
(This point clearly illustrates Aaron Nimzovich's concept of square control.)
[ Much better was: >/=
7...Nd7; 8.h5 Bh7; 9.Bd3
Bxd3; 10.Qxd3 e6;
11.Bd2 Qc7;
12.0-0-0 Ngf6; 13.Ne4 0-0-0; 14.g3 Nxe4;
15.Qxe4 Bd6;
16.c4, "+/=" and
White is a little better here.
A. Karpov - U.
Adianto; / Cap d'Agde KO, (1.1);
1998.
{White won a nice game, 1-0 in forty-four total moves.} [CG,
CB]
[ See also MCO-14, page # 170; column # 01 and all applicable notes,
especially note # (e.) for this column. ]
]
8.Ne5! Bh7;
9.Bc4 e6;
10.c3 Bd6; 11.Qe2 Nbd7?; {Diagram
below.}
Black blindly develops.

Black said - after the game - that he planned ...Qc7; ...a6; ...c5; and then he could castle on either wing. Its a good {practical} plan, but it has a tactical hole in it.
[ >/= 11...Qe7[]; "~" (Maybe - "+/="') ]
12.Nxf7! Kxf7;
Black had to capture ... or lose material.
13.Qxe6+ Kg6;
Now White could regain the piece with QxB/d6, but has bigger game in mind.
[ Or if: 13...Kf8; then 14.Qf7#. ]
14.h5#. {Diagram
below.}
A nice opening trap ... ... ...
that illustrates some of the tactical problems that Black must face in the Caro-Kann.
