Hi. Mr User 424081 dondiego66 gave me a tasty lesson; mate in 8, as white! Game 6106571.
Very nice, but it should have been opposite 😳

Anyone knows any history of this miniature, or trap?

I don't think it's so much a trap as you moved into Mate in 1.

Position would have been fine after 8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. e3 IMO. Now Nd5 really is a threat so probably 9. ... Bxc3 10. Bxc3 O-O 11. Be2 and 12. O-O things are equal.

The most common form of this mate is in the Caro-Kann:

I must have won half a dozen blitz games with this trap. The lesson to learn is when your opponent moves his queen to e2 / e7 early on, note that your e-pawn might be pinned!

against the budapest gambit it is common to have mate threatened. e3 remedies this real quick.

I am pretty certain this trap is pointed out in every Budapest book there is.

What I can't understand is:

You are allowed to use a database, so why loosing a game so early??

I didnt use the database. i even didnt use my own (however only sub-average) abilities before my last move. 🙁
