I'd assume that he means that he can win regularly, rather than one game out of 25? In any case, I (or probably anyone else here) would be happy to set up a demo to see him do this if he can. Programs don't get queens trapped very often that I have seen. A few (nimzo, probably others) will fall for the Bxh2 g3 trap, But I doubt they will fall for this...
