How the Double Attack with the Queen works
The Double Attack with the Queen is a classic chess opening trap arising from the Queen's pawn game. In this line White wins decisive material by move 11, punishing a natural-looking but losing idea from Black.
The full sequence runs 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 e6 3.Nf3 Be7 4.Nbd2 d5 5.e3 c5 6.c3 Nbd7 7.Bd3 b6 8.Qa4 O-O 9.Ne5 Nxe5 10.dxe5 Nd7 11.Qh4. Each move looks reasonable, which is exactly why the trap is so effective over the board — Black walks into it while trying to play "normal" developing moves.
This pattern is well known from master and correspondence play (50 Opening Traps,Part 1 - Double Attack with the Queen - A46 - https://lichess.org/@/CHESSLUCAFD). Recognising it early lets you either spring it as White or sidestep it as Black.
