I played a game recently and won in six moves. I have tryed to look for the opening name but I have not been able to find a name past the first move of each color.
If no name exist, perhaps we could call it the Davenport variation to whateveer name is give to first moves.

It is a delayed vs of King's Gambit stuffed up!
A delayed version of the kings gambit, even though white did not play e4.

I don't care what you call it, that game was hilarious!!! I am still cracking up! If I were you I would study up on some opening principals before moving into the names.

Im glad you enjoyed it, but I should point out I was the winner. I knew exactly what to look for to pull off that checkmate.

White simply blundered half of his moves. Wouldn't call this an opening.

This is a premiere example of why you should try out your new opening theory before playing it in a game.

Unless I am mistaken, the Immortal Game was played by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky in 1851 and it began 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4
I believe that is the kings gambit.
