In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the 5 best chess opening traps in the French Defense, which happens after the first moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5.

An interesting thing about these traps is that even the world champion Magnus Carlsen fell for one of these traps, not just once but TWICE! And most of these traps are suitable even at the top-level players.
