Also, in my case, I will never learn traps cuz then my brain.exe would not work.

But your trick doesn't work, does it?

If black uses his brain, you are lost.

6. Nxe5(??) dxe5 7. Qxg4 Nxc2+ and you lose a rook.

Nice job! That one is always fun!

Also, as @magipi mentioned, if Black had defended properly, it would have been rough for you. The main line is 5.h3 (instead of 5.d3), and if they take on f3, you just take back with your queen; however, if they retreat to h5, you have your trap:

So yeah! Congrats again on your cool game! This is just a possible (and more accurate) way for you to try it in the future (so even if your opponent knows what they’re doing, you’re still doing great).

This is the Legal mate and has been known since the 1700s. It is nice to be able to play it over the board.

If we didn’t, maybe the person who played this game would not know how to get this mate accurately. This way, this person can try to recreate the mate in later games, and even if their opponents do not make that same blunder, this person will still have a great position (instead of a losing one).

It wasn’t anything taking away from this game, it was just helping for future games.
