This trap occurs in the Caro Kann defence, Classical Variation, after 1.e4 c6, 2.d4 d5, 3.Nc3 dxe4, 4.Nxe4 Nd7, 5. Qe2 Nfg6??, with 6. Nd6# (note: 12 games featured this trap, in one month on FICS) 5.Qe2 looks awkward and innocuous, but with the Knight on e4, it sets up the potential for a discovered pin on Black’s e7 pawn, leading to the checkmate.
