The "cheap" trick was just too "expensive".
Fortunately Black missed 14...Nxe4.

Can't blame you. In desperate situations, I rely on cheap tricks too.

What about Black playing Nxe4 on move 8? Doesn't that work
8...Nxe4?? 9. Nxe4! because 9...Qxb5? 10. Nd6+ and the Black queen takes a break for the day, while 9...Qb4+ is stopped by the "return of the knight" 10. Nc3.
In blitz or bullet we probably all have our trappy little openings that give the opponent the chance to go wrong. Even blatantly incorrect openings can get you the first time. The players who employ this i call one trick ponies...if the ruse is detected they lose interest in the game and sometime forfeit on time.
The opps who really annoy me are those who sac a bish on f2 and think in the annuls of chess history this has never been seen before.

The Sicilian Najdorf is full of cheap tricks. I usually don't play for cheapos, but here is one I couldn't resist.
Why not Nd5? Why give away kt for free?
3 | 0 time control games sometimes allow us to play a lot of mind games and tricks with your opponents, it might work well for you if your opponent fails to recognize the tactical net you weave in.
Here's one such game. I play white here.
We both play pretty accurate moves until 12. Nxe5 Re8 me going for the free pawn and he tries to kick my knight away. It would be pretty normal for me to retract my knight to f3 or even d3 hitting the queen on c5. But I thought to develop the tension so there could be some tactics that could open up in the game.
13. Re1 defending the knight. Opponent played 13. ... d5!!! Nice move, kicking the other knight since this knight doesn't have many escaping squares ( 14. Ne4, 14. Ne2 would block the e-file for rook ) Na4 is also interesting but I just went ahead and played
14. Ne4 offering a knight sac on e5.
14. ... Qxe5
He went ahead and captured with queen which is what I was looking for now
15. Nxf6 with a discovered check on Queen
15. ... Qxf6 he fell for the mate trap
now 16. Rxe8 M1 cannot be avoided
