In all my years of chess I've never seen this opening. I almost fell out of my chair when my opponent (a 1600+ player) played it. It is called the Barnes Opening and I think it should be left in the barn with the animals because it is like playing odds chess.
Here is the game:
rooperi
Off course you could have mated one move earlier, on the same square...
I have a friend who plays this in otb blitz, but he plays 2 Kf2??
The idea seems to be to entice Black to over-extend. I can never beat him, but he is almst 2300, lol

you showed him for sure. i wouldn't say worst ever though. seems like he could have done a few things differently. not sure what but i credit black more than white on this game.
