This video explores the Mortimer Trap which is attributed to the player James Mortimer. This trap can be played by black in the Ruy Lopez opening. If white falls for the trap, the white player will be subject to a positional nightmare.

at 0:50 .bishop*kc6,pd7*bishop,kf3*pe5,qe7(attacking the knight and the pawn behind it),to save the knight white moves kf3,q*pe4 check.// white has no option either to defend with qe2 or move the king itself if q*qe2 check preventing the castling of white king

What if after pawn to c6 knight can take pawn on f7 to attack the white queen??, King will take Knight on f7 and white bishop can now check on c4.. at least that way you spoil the white castling opportunity and save your bishop giving yourself some chance strategically.

When black plays Nf6 that's the Berlin Defense. Once I see that, I usually castle. Then Nxe4 and I move my rook over to attack the knight. I thought that was how white played usually? Am I wrong?

@SondaroSasukeA king cannot castle when it is under check, when the square it will go is under attack by the enemy, or when the castling path (in this case h1 to e1) is under attack.

Hi;Castling is not allowed whilst the King is in Check.
