it's the trap where you take opponents Rook white uses his queen and bishop. Bd3 then Qh5 then Bishop D6 then queen he please let me know best way to defend Against that thanks??
question?
You should probably put your Knight on f6 early in the game. That way his Queen won't get to h5 without being captured.
Hard to tell what you're talking about just from the description you've given, so I've dug into your games and found the one below, which I think is what you're talking about. You can put games into your post using the chessboard icon found first on the line of icons found just above where you type.
The main thing I notice from this game (and another one, as well) is that your problems really start once you push f6. That opens up the line from h5 to your king which your opponent exploits. Instead, any reasonable developing move should be fine: Nc6, Ne7, Bd7, Bc5.
The pawn formation most closely resembles an Advance French (only with f4 instead of d4). In that opening, Black may sometimes push f6, but they typically don't do that until a lot more development has been done.

It's not a trap, it's a common tactical pattern that can be seen from many openings. Just don't fall for it.
I looked at the games. It's almost never good to move your f pawn in the opening, the main way to avoid this "trap" is to not move your f pawn. If you choose to move your f pawn, then look out for that situation. If a bishop goes to the b1-h7 diagonal, then be prepared to meet the check. Something like this:
If you're caught off guard though, then after Qh5+ you can't block with g6 because your h pawn is pinned. It's better to move your king.
If you do block with g6 and they capture it, don't recapture because you h pawn is pinned. Again, it's better to move your king.
It basically takes 4 mistakes working together to lose the rook:
1)Moving the f pawn in the opening
2)Not seeing the check on h5 was possible
3)Blocking with g6 instead of moving the king
4) recapturing on g6 instead of moving the king.
