Instead of Na6, my opponents also play Qa5…what should i play to defend it?

Trying this against someone, and unfortunately the black player moved his c7 pawn to c6 instead of taking the d4 pawn.
Now things are going back and forth so I gotta watch myself.

@takataone Why do people do that? I mean the you might have an online rating of 2200 then but in reality you can’t play shit… isn’t kind of the whole point of playing online to practice so you can get better?

very nice video on this trap, unfortunatly any trap that you or I as a player might play will always be beaten by the player who insists on using chess software assistance which I have noticed over the years of playing on line chess is getting worse for now they are using autoplay with such engines as the “chess buddy” which is a free download trial program to evade detection from the chess server.
chess websites are awash with cheating engine players.

If black wanted to defend against the knight going to c7 checkmate, he could have just captured the rook with the bishop at g4. Black moved Queen to c5 to defend against the real threat, white Queen to c6 check!!! Great video. Keep up the good work.

but i don’t understand why black’s bishop(g4) can’t take the rook(d1) after white’s queen takes knight on a6..

Black loses a lot of material due to the resulting checks and captures unfortunately. Scroll down a bit for the actual line. Thanks for checking out the vid!
