If you are below 2000 on lichess you should usally capture doubtfull they will find it even if it's their. If would be nice if you should game where you could capture it so I could when I should and shouldn't and signs that it traps the queen.

I capture it but in special situations, or when i see that it will be ok if i will take it, but like there are traps too so i don't capture that pawn lol

I disagree. Why would you just take a piece blindly especially if you think the other player is not smart enough to trap you?

If can't find the trap in the next few moves I guess they can't either. If they can they are better then me and I need luck to win. In my opoion taking the pawn is the right move 95% of the time. Yes sometimes they play traps on purpose but those I already know about. I am talking about the time they aren't playing a trap. During those times 95% of the time it is safe and helps with the attack. During the time they are playing a trap I stilll would rather take the pawn to learn the trap. See how to play from someone who studied this trap. I am not underestimating my opponet, I am saying if they are better then me I might lose but I don't care. I play for fun. If you play had ever played rapid (which you haven't) and stop playing 6,000+ game of bullet you would understand why taking is better but looks like you just farm bullet. No wonder you think I underestimate my opponet

I still wonder why one would assign the queen bishop a job to protect that pawn in early context. It might have been an older opening idea (like in the Colle, but lost in the London and its descendants).
