Video Lesson: Opening Trap against the Smith Morra Gambit

I hope you readers enjoy the new videos added to this blog. I am still learning how to make and edit videos, so please be patient with me during this learning process! Hopefully they will improve in quality and in entertainment value!

Here is a nice opening trap that I have used a few times as Black. It is against the Smith Morra Gambit. The position comes from the following moves:
1. e4 c5
2. d4 cxd4
3. c3 dxc3
4. Nxc3 e6
5. Bc4 Nc6
6. Nf3 Qc7
7. Qe2 Nf6
8. O-O Ng4
9. h3

If you like to play the Sicilian defense, you should consider memorizing and playing this variation.

Anyway, here is the puzzle. It is Black to play and win.
