I'm wondering if this is the quickest queen trap possible. I guess I should make my definition of a queen trap clear. If Player A traps Player B's queen, then any move by Player B that does not result in check or threaten Player A's queen will allow Player A to immediately capture the queen with a net material gain for Player A. This definition is probably not perfect, but hopefully, it's sufficient.

This definition is proba ...[text shortened]... ind a faster one, or even one equal in length, please post it here. I'm curious about this.

This one could be faster if you just played 4.Qf4 Bd6 right away.
Curious cos it's basically just fools mate, and instead of setting up this position where black's queen is trapped, white could have just taken the queen XD
