This was played by the English Jonathan Mestel around 1975-6 . I have some lines on it if you cant find the games in a database. He used it in the junior world championship 1975 and European team championship final 1976.

3...f5?! doesn't score so well as other lines, but it's sharp and aggressive. You might find this game played by masters of almost equal strength interesting.
