Nf6 instead Nc6. Also I mean black could play better. This is a bit known sacrifice, but if you found it then great!
I just came up with the most ridiculous opening trap in history.
I'm sorry, but I think there is an even more ridiculous opening trap in history : https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general-chess-discussion/how-to-beat-your-school-bully-66777227

That's the kind of stuff that makes the trap ridiculous, because if you know how to counter this then you're down a pawn and a knight for nothing.
If they don't, and they blunder by not defending, then you've pretty much got a reversed From's gambit trap.
Edit: I put this into the explorer, and there are no games on record with this trap.

Um I think there are better moves

More like absolute genius!
I feel like I need to mention that before I made this forum, I showed this trap to another player in an unrated rapid game, and it seemed like they might actually use it because they were pretty enthusiastic about it.
Hate to break it to you, but if Black plays …Nf6 at any given moment, the trap is no more. A better opening trap would involve more ways for Black to go wrong

Shooting at your own feet isn't called a trap.
To be fair, yeah, it would be more of a gambit.
Okay so if this blunder/gambit/barelyatrap doesnt work, maybe you could try a very similar one used in the From's gambit (which this is based off), but even then it isnt a gauranteed win.
Pretty much the same problem, since the King's knight can easily refute, but at least you dont gambit a knight (mostly because it isn't possible), and you are up a tempo compared to the ridiculous gambit.
Edit: It is actually possible to gambit a knight in move 2, but it is impractical.
Yes, it is loosely based on an opening trap used in the From's Gambit.
Thoughts?
