came to the conclusion that at 3:33 Nd5 is the safest and no threat to black.

@concernedcitizenn also at 1:54 after Qc7. yeah Nxf7 Qxf7 Bxe6 (Qxe6 Qxe6) Qe7.

Love it I'm a US life master as well, er working on it. pause at 1:54 what do you think of black playing to Qc7 instead of Nf6? and then the bishop could possibly go to d6 and then knight going to f6 would be safe. 3:34 I think black should go for Be7 and castle next move. The thing with traps is not knowing the trap nessecarily by heart but being able look at the threat. What I noticed with traps is people get in a premove condition moving pieces where they typically go without calculating
