Hahah! I'll be sure to let you know when they discuss the Grob again. If you join the group look in their archives. The Grob has been discussed extensively... that doesn't mean your lines aren't better though. ;)

What's the main idea of this gambit? nxe4, bd3, nf6 (not f5, it loses), then what?
In blitz I've had success with 2... Nxe4 3. Nc3 Nxc3 4.bxc3 . Having a pretty solid center and then having the b file open for the rook to attack the queenside. I'd like to stress that I haven't used this in correspondence or OTB. Only blitz and quick. ~Boog
The UCO yahoo group has chosen the Omega Gambit as their gambit to study for the month of July. If you have any interesting games with this gambit please submit them here and I'll post them to the UCO group. You can also join yourself at yahoogroups.com if you're into UCO's. Look up Unorthodox Chess Openings. Computer analysis and novelties are also welcome. You can research Clyde Nakamura's original analysis here: http://www.chessville.com/uco/cn/OmegaGambitPart1.htm
I have had many successes with this gambit in quick and blitz games. It has been while since I've used this gambit though. Maybe a revisit is in order?
