Nice try!

nice job executing the f pawn trap (i forgot what it was called)
but this belongs in game analysis forum
All about the memory. Hes probably studied that queen taking and just plays it blindfolded. Thats the main issue with chess, without studying, memory, knowing several openings you are limited. Period.

Once middle game starts then its more player vs player rather than who knows the best engine openings.
There are fixed, perfect moves - obviously early on there are only a few to "remember".

Once over that hump, then becomes a bit more of a game.
Well, @Yeltcki and @InkyDarkBird , I didn't ask for any type of analysis on my game, which, however, would have been pointless anyway. Thanks for your feedback guys! The fact that I didn't expect any queen trap is just a fact, a general chess matter, or discussion if you like it. I have played this type of opening thousand times, always winning. But chess is interesting I may say. Lol
@barnsley3000 , at your and my level, chess is 5-10% openings, 50% tactics, 20% endgames, and 20% positional awareness.
Openings do not matter much. Don't spend your time getting a good opening book. Become a tactical wizard instead.
And what is the point of having a "game analysis forum" when we've got stockfish to click on, with a much better analysis outcome than a human could ever provide? As @barnsley3000 already pointed very well, whether you like it or not, the fact is about learning vs. understanding.
