I guess the trap is that if white goes for Queen, black moves the bishop to take the pawn by the king. That bishop is protected by the knight nearby and forces the king to move. The only place the king can move is up. The other bishop is then moved to force a check mate. Did I get it right?
Writing it out,
Bxd8 Bxf2
Ke2 (only move) Bg4#
Since the king is in check and the light squared bishop covers f3, the dark squared bishop covers e1 and e3, the knight covers d2 and f2, and the rest are blocked by white's pieces
Took me a while to understand the notation, now I know you're indicating that the B indicates a Bishop is moving from somewhere to D8. Ok, we're on the same page. Thanks for the confirmation
Yeah learning chess notation looks confusing at first but it's straight forward and can make a whole pile of moves look very small
It's called "algebraic notation".
