Queen's Gambit Accepted trap
Elephant Trap in Queen's Gambit Declined
Albin Countergambit trap

What it concludes

Promoting to a knight instead of a queen in the Queen's Gambit Accepted trap gives white no option to take back and wins the queen.
The Elephant Trap in the Queen's Gambit Declined is triggered by taking on d5 and losing the queen to queen d2.
In the Albin Countergambit, white's natural-looking move e3 is a mistake leading to bishop b4 check.
In the Cambridge Springs Defense, bishop d3 is a mistake because white can take on e3 and play knight e4 for a fork.
