| дешёвый трюк | cheapo (In US English, "cheapo" is a mildly derogatory term for a cheapskate. In chess circles, however, it means something different: a tactical trap that both players should be able to see through. For example, "I was winning, but I fell into a cheapo." Setting a cheapo is not at all cheap: a strong player may set dozens of "simple" tactical traps during the game: miss one and you're dead. We all feel silly when we fall for a cheapo, but there's nothing unsportsmanlike about setting up a cheapo.  blogspot.com) |
