I came up with this today on FICS. Black panicked, gave up his queen and resigned. I think if he'd played Qf6 one move earlier I would have been demolished. Is it worth trying in blitz play or is it too weak?

I didn't put them in, sorry about that. I think the program (Raptor) or the site (FICS) added them automatically. I believe they refer to time taken to move.

Trap, to play a perhaps risky variation in hopes your opponent will goof up.
