very nice trap, i love learning about these diferent variations of traps that can cripple an oppent with just a handful of fatel moves. The best part is when you play a beginner and they fall for every move perfectly and you can complete a trap like the King's Gambit. Like i always say if you play smart chess and go at your pace, you can beat anyone, just make good choice and see the entire board before making a move!
