Usually I don't set traps but this was a good one. It seemed that the Queen had a diagonal to flee but all would fail to double attacks by the Knight...

I call it a discoordinated attack as your pieces were scattered all over the placw

2..Nf3 is just bad in the queens gambit. either pawn recapture allows white to build a centre and gain development lead. Maybe a second move that doesn't recapture works better, but I can't see one. It is a good example of not automatically playing moves.
I wouldn't call your move 6 a trap either, since 6 e3 is a correct response to the forked pawns (b2 & d4). It avoids complications and opens up the kings bishop. It would have been my choice there.
Strangely enough both pawns remain poisoned even with other move choices on your 6th e.g.:
6 e4!?
6..Qxd4? Nf3 and the complications favour white
6..Qxb2? Rb1 Qa3(forced) Nb5 (threatening the king and rook fork and attacking the queen) Black is lost.
6 Rc1
6..Qxd4? Nb5 (same threat as above)
6..Qxb2? Rb1 (etc)
6 Nf3
6..Qxb2? Rb1 etc
6 Qc2
6..Qxd4? Nb5 etc
6 h3?!
6..Qxd4? Nf3 (weaker form of the 6e4 line)
6..Qxb2? Rb1 etc
6 b3?
6..Qxd4? Nf3 (etc)
Note, I'm just talking about the pawns remaining poisoned, all lines work out better for black with other 6th move responses.

Let's say that the b2 pawn is a trap for a 1900 some player, psychologicaly speaking...The guy checks only one answer, Rb1 and taking the Queen to a3 and escaping along the diagonal after maybe taking the a2 pawn, but can't believe the Queen will be caged, with so many squares to go, like after Ra1, when the Queen could go, by the rules of chess, to some 10 to 12 squares!
After 9.Ra1 Qb2 10.Bc3 the game is over, but my friend wanted to play the rest of the game just to see how the rest of the job is done. That's why I never complain when someone doesn't resign a game: He could have given me a back rank mate in the move 28!
This was the third Queen I captured in the opening this month. I'll post them here later, but they were just bad blunders like the ones I have to post in another forum, my own pieces of bad playing!
