My opening trap

Sort:
Cipherz

In a game I played recently I found this cool trap in the Caro-Kann Breyer variation and I looked online and could not find it elsewhere and was informed by NM Zug that it had no name. I understand that this was no means an excellent game on black's side (na6 was clearly a mistake, aside from the blunder of taking my queen), but I thought it was a cool mate that I got and I'm still deciding what to name it : D. And if this already has a name let me know too please.

Nobody has thoughts? : (

I think that most people would notice the advancing pawn first and capture it.

Well, I believe getting mated with a pawn is called a "Shame Mate", so you can maybe work that into the name. :)

Except taking the pawn in this instance would created doubled pawns. Which is what he may have been trying to avoid because that doubled e6 pawn would be a pretty bad weakness.
