Good Queen snares - this one is rather amusing.
Note the Queen knows she is trapped but cannot do anything to prevent
herself from being taken in a move or two with Ba4, or Ne1.
My opponent sportingly resigned.
Hi Gramps, How are you these days? My opponent is 1590 is that OK?
Game 5260974
Feels odd to post a game in this forum which is usually the reserve of loonies.
Hmmm....
Hey! Everybody I've just eaten my library books and stuck a cockroach up my nose.
There, now this post does not look so out of place.

And this 'innocent kid' will learn far more from suffering a loss due to a Queen trap than he would from any words I could say.
Edit: not so sure how 'honest' or 'innocent' he may be. From his profile:
ive been playing chess for 15 years and ive also played in the british championships and came joint second.I think you have to be a tad bit higher than 1203, or 1400, to come second in the british championships. 😛

They are similar in that they both trap a Queen that takes a pawn on g2 - but even the pattern of the trap isn't exactly the same. In the first game, the Q was threatened by a Bishop from e4; in the second game, the Q was threatened by a Rook from h2.
Trapping of the Queen is a common tactical theme in chess. The law at work here has nil to do with computers and everything to do with theme/pattern recognition.

Filling up Bates Motel (my club) with under 1400's (max 10)
then coach them up to +1800 - this will take up all my time so am
imposing a total forum ban on myself (you will pleased to hear) as from
next week.
Hi divegeester - You are in Bates Motel, that was a wee free lesson from SG.
Don't worry, Pattern recognition will be covered in full.
