Keininger Trap in Budapest Gambit worth learning!

I have recently been playing on Chess24 ... The Keininger Trap in the Budapest Gambit seems to catch people out all the time ... In this example I was playing someone online graded over 1830.  You will notice in this game that my opponent thinks I've forgotten to retreat my Bishop after being threatened by a pawn ... but - unbeknown to them, the next move is mate!!

  




As usual, any comments welcome ...
