Use this Queen Trap in the King's Indian Defense

Round 5 of the Winter Swiss OTB event. A win in this final round secures at least a tie for first place in the event with 4.5/5 points. I'm playing the White pieces against Kevin Gaustad, who is rated about 1800 and always plays exciting chess. He gets his queen active early, and the rest of the game revolves around trying to trap his queen and the subsequent plans. If you like queen traps, you'll enjoy this one. Below you'll find the video recap and full PGN.
