In the Albin Counter Gambit, black aggressively tries to undermine the center control of white’s opening of the queen’s gambit line. If white is not careful he can fall into man traps, including the Lasker Trap which has an underpromotion as early as move 7. With correct play white can keep his advantage in the Albin Counter Gambit but if white is not well versed in this opening then black can not only equalize but have a winning game.
Or the moves for black could be switched, but the same thing happens. What is this called? Is this any good and why?
lmao guys. your answers are hilarious. not even close to what im looking for, but hilarious

I am going through Jeremy Silman’s Complete Endgame Course–
I am on the part where it’s a rook and a pawn vs a rook, It’ll take some time to master, should I simply get the concepts down, and move on? or should I master each section as I go through the book?

This is a discussion of a trap in the Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense. This is an important trap to know because it shows what happens if Black tries to hold the center in the Steinitz. When Tarrasch beat Marco in 1892, it signaled the beginning of the end for the Old Steinitz Defense. Today the Neo-Steinitz, 3…a6 4.Ba4 d6, is much more popular because it avoids the trap in this video.
