Complete refutation of Petroff Defence!

Carlsen should have tried this against Caruana's Petroff!

Great thanks a lot for that now i think i will also be able to beat caruana's petroff

This trap is old.

@hangrad lol you missed 4...Qe7. This line is actually playable even though at first sight it looks like it blunders the knight.

@Sissa___ll like I said it's not really a trap, unless black is a beginner

@Sissa___ll #3 When was this trap played for the first time? Who is the inventor of this trap? I am sure someone has played it before me!

@soni777new #5 my opponent is not a beginner. He is rated about 1630 and is better than about 70% of lichess blitz players.

@hangrad Ok fair enough, however what I mean is that people tend to think this is a lot worse than it is. Here's a GM game where black won:

@soni777new #8 thank you for the game! It's very nice!

We call the Petroff defense "Russian" in German, "Russisch".

And this particular variation "Superrussisch" (super Russian?, super Petroff?)
