    Hi Gramps,

    Actually I'm wrong. No one on RHP has fallen for that 5 mover.
    There are 20+ that have fallen for a slight variation of it but they are all 6 moves.

    Edit: OTB this trick as 20+ victims as well.

    That and many other traps can be found in the best ever book about traps:
    "Combinations and traps in the opening" by Veinstein (name can be spelled differently), translated from Russian.
    Tiny book but full of anectodes, like a short story collection. Story with a drummer from big band - drummer has a chess table on his big drum - is very amusing and the variation of Nimzo-indian defense is still usable.
