My First Blog. A cunning idea!

I'm not following this. According to me there is a crucial position missing: after g6!! why can't white put his Queen on g5 and trade queens
Black played h6 to setup the trap, so the g5 square is defended by the h6 pawn

EDIT: This is my closest quess, but Black is a move behind somehow

e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. d3 Bg4 4. h3 Bxf3 5. Qxf3 e6 6. Be2 Bd6 7. Nd2 Ne7 8. O-O c5 9. Rd1 Nbc6 10. c3 d4 11. Qh5 Ng6

There's a line in the two knights where Black just gives up the bishop. I tried and even with the odd ...c6-c5 instead of ...e5 , I ended up a move for Black. I flicked in a check on b4 to make it work, though I think it's dubious attempt to lure early c3:

1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Nf3 Bg4 4.h3 Bxf3 5.Qxf3 e6 6.d3 d4 7.Nb1 Bb4+!? 8.Nd2 Ne7 9.Be2 Bd6 (admitting it almost lol) 10. O-O c5 11.c3 Nbc6 12.Rd1?! Ne5 13.Qh5 N7g6 (though apparently going to c6 is better, with g6-Bf8 ideas to fend off f4) 14.g3 h6

Also note to add, if this is the two knights with Bxf3, then it's much more harmonious to fianchetto as white with g3-Bg2 (instead of Be2). And plus, Queen would have a free e2 square ^_^

That's so clever, I didn't think about White Knight going back to b1, that does make much more sense. You might be spot on!

Very interesting position there.

I don't often award double-exclamation point annotations, but here since the final position is confusing I'll allow it!

Sorry but I didn't understand anything, you GMs write thinking that people are mentally connected to your ideas, and what you try to write really seems interesting to me, but please send the link to the game, because I need context, I want to see it completely and then try to understand what you are writing and take advantage of your tip for my development, thank you.
He is a CM, though :)
