After the game was over, I saw that he was a fanatic Caro-Kann player, and I saw that I slaughtered him three times with my Caro-Kann trap.

I run into Sidonio again. This time I had black, so no Caro-Kann trap. But fortunately, he tried a Fried Liver on me, and my new anti-Fried Liver defense, which I learned from those two GM's, came through again: https://lichess.org/TG3d0Ear/black

Sidonio came out of the opening with a horse missing, and on move 24 he resigned.

This interesting crazy looking answer to an attempted Fried Liver, or, to keep Ken happy and to avoid a new debate about what is and what isn't a Fried Liver, this answer to an attempt to smack a horse in on f7, supported by a bishop on c4 which also attacks f7, that answer actually seems to have a name, that name being the Ponziani-Steinitz gambit.

Sidonio was kind enough to blunder away a horse in this weird opening, something I really appreciate. The playing goes just much more relaxed when you're a horse ahead.
