Vienna Game, Würzburger Trap[edit | edit source]

White must block the check with 6. g3. Black can then take advantage of White's pinned h-pawn and play 6...Nxg3. The next moves are almost forced: 7. Nf3 Qh5 8. Nxd5.

If Black takes the rook with 8...Nxh1, they effectively trade rooks after 9. Nxc7+ Kd1 10. Nxa8 and the game is equal. Note that 8...Na6?? to prevent 9. Nxc7+ loses a piece after 9. Nf4 Qh6 10. Ne2.

Alternatively, Black may play 8...Bg4, preparing a battery against White's Queen.
