I'm not talking about the king's gambit .. I'm talking about what comes next to it when I give up my knight !

the dumbass variation??? ... unless you have won with it i dont know... just doesn't seem like enough attacking power is gained by the sacrifice.

43% for White, I'm surprised it's that good.

I can't post the game right now because we haven't finished it yet .. But you will see how it allows me to take control of the game .. And my opponent is playing well and not making crushing mistakes nor something comparable to that ..

But like the site database show it tends to favor white xP

Interesting, but I'd be worried about heart failiour if I played that one too often. I'm scared of playing the initial KG as it is. Smile It'll be interesting to see how you proceeded...

Reminds me slightly of the Halloween gambit, White gives up a whole Knight for a full pawn centre, and possibly a strong attack...

It also reminds me of the Muzio Gambit in the King's Gambit. The Muzio goes like this and gives white a strong attack that's difficult to defend against.

It seems to have a bit of a relation with the Muzio Gambit...other than that, no idea.

I guessed your question is answered but you might not want to try it that much.

On another chess site database (chessgames.com) the statistics are even better for white after 1.e4 e5   2.f4 exf4   3.Nf3 g5   4.d4 g4   5.Bxf4 gxf3   6.Qxf3:

73.3% White wins
6.7% draw
20% black wins

But the sample is too small, only 15 games.

And I found no name for this opening, and no exclusive ECO code. It is classified as C37 - King Gambit Accepted.

It just seems that bringing a queen out so fast, without any other development or being able to catle, seems risky.
