The question mark after the word "trapped" should have clued you in to the idea that he was not that sure about it. Furthermore, you could have read the rest of the thread and discovered that the idea of 5.d3 and 6.Bh6 had already been given.

No I dont "truly believe".
I gave the position a quick look because thats all it deserves .. surely both players have to be sub 1200 to arrive at sucha position .. exhaustive analysis is futile!
And why do people have to be so aggrsesive in these fora?

We used to have this dog that loved to lick himself for several minutes straight. Right in front of everyone. The really great part was watching people's reactions.
He's going to lick himself raw! -Pastor's son
He's just cleaning himself. It's natural. -My mother, trying to hide her embarrassment and keep a straight face while the grunts and whimpering got louder

I would not recommend this website to anyone. Here's another of their 'puzzles':
What is the point value of the pieces on the board?
They think a Bishop is worth 3.25 points, so they give 15 as the answer. 🙄
Puzzle (of course)
