  Jonathan Sarfati: Indeed, here was a sequel two rounds later S Holm vs Geller, 1968 Not long after that, he beat Cikovani. It was also used to good effect in the New Zealand Championship: P Stuart vs A Pomeroy, 1985

  tpstar: "The prize for the most successful trap of recent times must surely go to Soviet grandmaster Geller, for his win against the Polish master Adamski, in round 9 of the 1968 Olympic Finals at Lugano, and his win two rounds later with exactly the same variation against the Danish player Holm! This featured a theme peculiar to the King's Indian Defense, where Black's King Knight is sacrificed on [e4]."

"Tal has shown the right way here, in his game against Borisenko, Spartakiade 1967 G Borisenko vs Tal, 1967 which continued 9 ... Qa5 10. Rfd1 Re8 11. d5 cxd5 12. Nxd5 Qxd2 13. Nxf6+ Bxf6 14. Rxd2 Bxg5 15. Nxg5 f6 with equality."

  perfidious: Adamski, despite his surname, was from Missouri.
