Someone's been studying their opening lines...
Great game!
Ugh, I can't remember what this mate is called, and it's driving me nuts!
Um don't you kind of get the shaft here if your opponent is better than you?
6. Nxe5 dxe5
7. Qxg4 Nxc2+
And you just got PWNED by Black :p

This be a textbook Legal's Mate pattern. Although the line that brandon pointed out, in this case, wins for Black if he can overcome the "free" queen.
Legal's mate seems to have a high probability of failure once the queen's knight has been moved by Black.
