Since I realize that a failed trap is a tad depressing, I hereby present you guys with a successful trap. Mind you, not 100% successful, that would have been a mate in 5, but successful enough to do the enemy a lot of damage in the opening and make him throw in the towel on move 20: https://lichess.org/HokgsEEoGFs6

The mate in 5 in a serious game like this, is unfortunately extremely rare. That happens once a year or less. I searched in my nick Tallybloodyho, and among almost 4000 games, I found three instances of that mate in 5, one coming from and Englund gambit, like the above game, and two from a Budapest gambit.
Here is one: https://lichess.org/OUT2d440/black So yes, they are rare jewels, but they do happen occasionally. So with the above game, I was hoping for the enemy to take my queen. When he was thinking really long I even texted him: “Just take the queen and get it over with” but alas, it was not to be.
Not that it made a difference in the end result, but the five mover would have been much more spectacular.
Well, not everyday is party time, I guess.
