A quick win in the Gagunashvili Variation:

Isn't that game still in progress?
Oh gosh, sorry about that. I got confused and posted the wrong game. Turns out multiple people have played that exact same line in blitz games.

Notify your opponent and ask him what he wants to do.
IM pfren's comments are about moves already made, so perhaps the game can continue...
My newest blog discusses some of the analysis, along with how I created it:

I just got the following win against a 1900 USCF player:

Maybe a drunk 1900 player....... or perhaps just a really greedy one. It's hard to believe such an awkward move as 4...Bd6 is any good, but it does seem to have merit. After 5.dxe6 dxe6 6.Nb5 Ne4 7.Nxd6 Nxd6 8.e3, white may be OK. He's got the minor exchange, and after 8...0-0 9.Bd3 (or maybe Qc2) he looks alright. But it's an awfully passive position for the white side...
@melvinbluestone: Yeah, in that variation Black pretty much equalizes. It's interesting to consider how White can make even the slightest progress.
p.s. The 1900 and I were just playing some practice games, but I still was surprised he missed it.
