Getting this trap in an OTB tournament can make you feel so good. Black's rating was +200 of mine. Greed is bad, but it gets me also.

In the diagram above you would be in trouble if black knew about the trap. He would just take your knight on e5, with his own knight, instead of capturing your queen. But if you first moved h3 threatning his bishop, and he then moved it back to h5, then it would be OK to try. Because then you could take the bishop with your queen if he saw the trap and captured your knight.
Here it is not ok to try,
Here it is OK to try
PS I love this new diagram-thing.
