This is used against the Wayward Queen Attack and is most effective for bullet games or low-rated players. This had worked for me for at least 22 times.
Try to solve its most basic variation:

Solve if White did an in-between move without first doing the steps to prevent the queen trap: 

Only Black's king should move, else Black's other pieces would fail to keep the White queen trapped.

To prevent the trap after Black plays Kh6, White should a) lift the d2 pawn to open its black-squared bishop, or b) play Nf3/Nh3 or c) back the queen (not the best idea because moving the queen a lot early in the game delays development) or d) take Black's f7 pawn (the worst option since Black's knight will just take it, but that still prevents the queen trap) .

However, many times, White fails to follow it up properly. Thus, Black still succeeds in capturing White's queen early in the game.

A common blunder is when White uses its dark-squared bishop to counterattack Black's queen.

Find the one best way your opponent can foil your plan:
Black is now at some disadvantage since its knight is misplaced after the attempt to trap the white queen.
Against the 1300 Nelson bot of chess.com: - Yeah, if you've been struggling to beat him, wait for him to do the Wayward Queen Attack, then apply the queen trap setup. If you just want to enjoy having the queen trap work, just resign when things don't go as planned, then retry. I was able to beat him a couple of times with the Classic Queen Trap. https://www.chess.com/game/computer/1398595

The Classic Queen Trap also worked for me for at least 3 over-the-board games.
