I did the thing! (Bobby Fischer trap)

Disclaimer: My opponent was neither paid, nor was an actor.

I was playing some blitz on a sunday morning when I got a pretty normal accelerated dragon. Then this happened.

After Na5, I got some sort of nostalgia, like "Wait a minute, this looks strikingly familiar." I played e5, as Fischer did against Spassky and Reshevsky, and my opponent cooperated (there was already nothing he could do). Then I got his king to the h file and missed a direct mate, but my opponent resigned.

Thanks. You would think that any 2000+ would know it.
