Answer to Trap Puzzle on 4/9

First, we must recognize that the Black Bishop on H5 is in a bad position. It is on the side and only has two spaces that it can move to. We attack it and take away one of those squares by moving Pawn from G3 to G4. The Bishop can then perform a bad trade for the pawn, or escape to G6. If the Bishop moves to G6, we can trap it completely by moving the pawn from F4 to F5.

White moves to G4, then to F5. The Bishop cannot escape!
