Know this Legal Checkmate Trap in Vienna Opening

What is Legal Trap in Chess?
The Légall Trap or Blackburne Trap (also known as Légall Pseudo-Sacrifice and Légall Mate) is a chess opening trap, characterized by a queen sacrifice followed by checkmate with minor pieces if Black accepts the sacrifice.
The trap is named after the French player Sire de Légall. Joseph Henry Blackburne, a British master and one of the world's top five players in the latter part of the 19th century, set the trap on many occasions.

The Vienna Game is an opening in chess that begins with the moves:
1. e4 e5
2. Nc3
White's second move is less common than 2.Nf3, and is also more recent.

The original idea behind the Vienna Game was to play a delayed King's Gambit with f4 (the Vienna Gambit), but in modern play White often plays more quietly (for example, by fianchettoing his king's bishop with g3 and Bg2).
Black most often continues with 2...Nf6. The opening can also lead to the Frankenstein–Dracula Variation.
