1. e4...d5 2. f3

Idea: kind of like the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit

hmm, seems weakening, I never play f3 unless absolutely necessary, that's where my knight likes to go!

 Welllllll it is set to instant move, but it usually makes pretty good moves.

I like the fxe4; the way I try to play it is so that the pawn on f3 is taken; I use the 3rd. move to develop and the Knight takes on f3

Uh, might as well play 2.d4 and actually play the BDG.

if i were black -

2.f3!? e6 with the threat of being 3...dxe4 and if white insists on 4.fxe4?? Qh4+

I guess it is possible to tranpose into BDG with d4...

3. exd5 exd5, when the pawn on f3 simply looks out of place... just a thought...

your move might have some surprise value, but punishing black's first obnoxious move by exd looks better to me.
