Very Nice Trap!!! 
A real trap! (opening for black)
Sort:
Well, white can save rook by giving away the knight.. 6. Nc3. If 6... Qxc3+ 7. Bd2 saves the rook and threatens queen.
Overall, nice one.

Funny, there was a lot of that in your example too.
It's probably unwise to call this a trap. It relies on your opponent making a genuine blunder and only requires minimal calculation. It's safe to say that this move would only work on the weakest of opponents. If you're interested in genuine traps from the beginning then I'd suggest that you look at the Schilling gambit. Most advanced players will be able to spot it too but not because it's terribly easy to spot. It's just well known.

Most of white's play was natural actually, except for the last move of course, which I agree, is a blunder. I was more excited about pulling it off, that's all - and as far as quick/blitz games are concerned, it IS a trap!
As for only working on "the weakest" of players, this game was actually against a fairly intermediate one, in fact.
As for it being known or not - obviously not well known enough, if it's still working at times! It's just plain old fun - sue me.
I will check out the Schilling gambit though, though the term 'genuine' is highly relative to the context of the given game played (i.e. time pressure, etc.)
Anyways - I very much enjoyed busting this out, and I see others have enjoyed viewing it, and I hope others enjoy busting it out successfully against some of their oponents too!..

well that it's what relativity is.
what do you mean by fairly intermediate
for me it's a player with ELO around 2000
which is about 2200 USCF
This is the Queen's Gambit with colors reversed, so black doesn't have the pawn on d5. As Eiwob showed, this is why black can't try to hold on to the gambit pawn in the Queen's Gambit Accepted.

I'm not a 100% but im pretty sure this opening is called the Benoni! And as most openings does have a trap or two!
I've used this trap once when I was still really bad at chess - won a rook but completely blew the rest of the game.
It was first used in one of Greco's games, that's where I saw it:

Actually I ran computer analysis of my game with it -

It gave the best response for black to be 6. . . Nc6, giving up the knight, then after Qxc6+ black responds Bd7 and the rook is safe. So, it's not a crushing victory for White, and it actually does give Black a decent queenside attack.
Short version: with best play by Black after the queen targets the rook, black loses only a knight instead of a rook.
Hey - I saw a post about a supposed trap, but all I saw was rediculous play by the oponent, and nothing too spectacular.
Here, on the other hand, is a nice trap I just recently employed in a game last week that earned me a resignation from my oponents in only 5 moves!!!
