I have so much to learn.... The first game makes no sense to me. White is trying to give away a pawn and Black is refusing to take it. That NEVER happens in my games. It's a problem I have with a lot of instructional games/videos, they never show the piece being captured, and in games they almost always are.
I researched, but even the explanation is over my head.
I don't even see a trap in that game.
