I was wondering why. Then I saw that this was the 13th game I was playing against Sidionio. After the game was over, I saw that he was a fanatic Caro-Kann player, and I saw that I slaughtered him three times with my Caro-Kann trap.

I only later saw that is was Sidonio, so I started my trap like usual, and on the critical point he started to deviate, he learned his lesson already three times, and had no intention to go down that same road to chess hell again. But, alas, it was in vain. He deviated in wrong way, and had to part with two pawns and a castle in the opening, and before I could relieve him of his castle, he resigned. On move 12: https://lichess.org/KMKE2xYk1CSZ
