I guess the trap is that if white goes for Queen, black moves the bishop to take the pawn by the king. That bishop is protected by the knight nearby and forces the king to move. The only place the king can move is up. The other bishop is then moved to force a check mate. Did I get it right?

my guess would be moving the black bishop one to the left to place king into check, and then moving the other bishop into position. I also had an idea for castling and then using horse-castle placement for checkmate, but that's more than 2 moves

Doesn't that leave E3 open though?

Not only that, but Bxd8 Bb4 allows c3 and white survives.
