is there a name/resources for this opening?
i play it occasionally just for a break from my normal repetoire, and occasionally get fantastic attacks out it, the idea to then play f3, and try to retake with the king knight, almost like a staunton gambit, except with the black queen pawn instead of the king bishop pawn.
That is called the 'giveaway, my opponent might rattle' gambit.
1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 (3.f3?! e5!) Nf6 4. f3 exf3 5. Nxf3 (Qxf3!?) is the "Blackmar Diemer Gambit". Fun to play but I'm not too sure of its tournament value.
I think your talking about the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, it's fairly popular so you should beablr to find info online about it.
I know playing f3 right away is good ofr black

The BDG Keybook II by Tim Sawyer is probably the best resource. I would also check this link http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/4902/ This will give you a lot but I don't think its been updated a lot lately. It very good for a solid understanding of the BDG.
thanks for the help everyone!
Its the Blackmar gambit (1 d4-d5; 2.e4). It's fantastic, but a central pawn is a central pawn! http://www.ecochess.com/d00d99/d00d09/blackmar.htm
