Two pts. edit
- I'm wondering if it is really correct to say the unpinning of the N and offer of Q is really not a necessary part. (I think it is, else "Trap" lacks meaning.)
- Also, the text about falling for the Trap being the realm of beginners could hardly be right, if (acc. The Oxford Companion) Capablanca, Chigorin, and Kupreichik have all fallen for it! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Error in graphic edit
- The graphic under "Other Variations" regarding the old Petrov defense represents White as having 3 bishops. Obviously, the one on C-1 should be deleted. MooseFeathers (talk) 09:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Need correct spelling in title edit
- Page is called Légal's mate, but it is named after Légall (double-l). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.188.253.98 (talk) 02:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
The accepted name of this player is Kermur de Legal without 2 L and no accent on the E. http://heritageechecsfra.free.fr/legall.htm says that surnames were not stable at that time in France and cites the other spelling, but (nearly?) all chess books call him "Legal". The title was fixed by people who don't speak French or just want to be pedantic I guess. It is definitely not "Legal de Kermur" by the way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.27.64.35 (talk • contribs)
