I don`t know i just made up the position since its a good trap to be aware of since it can happen semi often.

I was thinking 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Nxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.f4 Nc6 7.Nf3 Bg7 8.Bc4 (instead of the more common Bd3) 0-0 9.0-0 Re8 10.Bb3 Qb6+ 11.Kh1 Ng4 12.Nd5!

But I guess there are other variations that may lead tothe same trap

Mathmo notice that philidors mate fails since when black gets around to playing ...Qg1+ white doesnt have to play Rxg1 but can play Nxf1 instead.

I did that once (move 12 onwards), strangely I ended up with the smothered mate anyway.

Thanks for pointing that out, i missed it completely. Just goes to show that its easy to get tunnel vision and ignore other considerations when you think you recognise a nice combination. Yep, im pretty sure that would have got me in a game.
