  GrahamClayton: This game was duplicated in A Jordan-N Banks, 1917. A Jordan was Alfred Jordan, one of the top checkers/draughts players of the time:

  offramp: White must have been tearing his hair out in disappointment after this game.
Oct-17-13  erimiro1: <offramp> Why? He should be proud of himself! After all, formally, he was the first one to test (and to taste..) the trap.
Oct-17-13  Abdel Irada: From White's perspective, this was indeed a caustic gambit.

Oct-17-13  chessbug2: So happy to see my pun first thing on the morning!
Oct-17-13  Shamot: <chessbug2: So happy to see my pun first thing on the morning!>

Pardon my ignorance, but, what does it refer to?

Oct-17-13  HSOL: Shamot: I guess "Just my luck" or is there another pun from Game of the day "Just Muhlock"?
Oct-17-13  Shamot: HSOL: Thank you. I guess I was not paying attention to phonetics, and was expecting some reference to something like a song, movie or alike as is the case usually.
Oct-17-13  kevin86: Sudden death! mate in seven moves!
Oct-17-13  whiteshark: I shall consider to shift my opening repertoire.
Oct-18-13  Kikoman: position after 7...Nf3#

wow! :D

Oct-18-13  chessbug2: The pun is "Just my luck" as <HSOL> said and that Costic is saying "Just Muhlock" as he finished him in 7 moves.

  Korora: Isn't this a variant on the (very risky if White doesn't take the bait) Oh [expletive] Trap?
Dec-24-21  JimmyVermeer: Looks an awful lot like McBride vs. Hill.
May-06-23  Mathematicar: This looks very artifical.
Jun-26-24  generror: Artificial? All of White's moves are pretty natural, and this exact game has been played over 400,000 times on Lichess. (There's even an earlier game here on chessgames: McBride vs Hill, 1892.) This is one of the most common opening traps.
Jun-26-24  FM David H. Levin: <generror: Artificial? All of White's moves are pretty natural, and this exact game has been played over 400,000 times on Lichess.>

If <Mathematicar> had in mind 3...Nd4 specifically, I'd agree that it seems artificial in not having much of a purpose beyond baiting the trap.

  nizmo11: Looks like this exposes some kind of bug in "find similar games": I see:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Nxe5 Qg5 5.Nxf7 Qxg2 6.Rf1 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 Nf3# 0-1 < NOVELTY: 8. Nf3# >
