When bishop attacked queen it unlocked black rook making check making white queen gone and thats game basicaly

@freezazoid Nevermind... I guess I should just watch the freaking video!!!
-
@ 2:24 why wouldn't the rook simply take the knight?
-
@freezazoid Sorry... I meant what if WHITE plays his knight at 0:40? Is black screwed?
-
So what if @ 0:40 black does indeed play his knight to F3? Is the white screwed? Does he still have a decent position. Not sure if I would want to gamble that.

what if white just kicks the pawn instead of taking the Bishop?

How do you mean kicks? Takes? Then he has avoided the trap but his king will be stuck in the centre or his pawn structure will be bad, depending on how he takes.

@SeanGGodley yes, i ment take sorry if that wasn't clear. If he takes the E- pawn with his F- pawn instead of taking the bishop he is still a pawn up, and black has to trade bishops or retreat, isn't that a to big risk?

fxe3 results in very bad pawn structure. The isolated pawns on the e file will be easy for black to pressurize and win, so the temporary loss of material is nothing serious.
