I'm not trying to trash on the guy.  I've made bad moves before as well.  I just never had a chance to use this particular trap before and I'm glad I finally saw it in action.  For those who haven't seen it, I hope you learn this trap well.  Whereas you will probably not get to use the "trap" per se, it illustrates a common mating motif.

Wasn't it Morphy who first did this?

It is actually called Legal's mate and was featured in Legal-Saint Brie, Paris 1750.

So I guess black's best move was to take your knight then?
