Very nice game. I like how White has no pieces developed. At least he'll be able to set up his pieces for the next game much faster than you :)

Roflmao, good one :P
Watch how many queen moves he had =P
I'm not saying it's a good opening, but I sometimes like to play 2. Qh5 for fun and to get out of the mainline.
some may say this is dubious, but i gambit my e pawn here with 2...Nf6. The point is that after the queen snags the e pawn with check, black will play Be7, and white is going to have to waste time shuffling the queen around as black just develops with tempo.
Yes some people like to call that the "kiddie gambit"
I would immediately play Nf6. This not only forces the Queen to move and gains initiative, but it is a natural response that helps complete development.
Just can't keep a good topic down, I guess...
Buzzkill...
Lovely one, Scott!
Who the hech did just dig a ditch and bring this topic out?! I though we had killed all the insects, but....

I agre with gimly. Just play 2....Nf6, gambit the e-pawn, surge ahead in development, and enjoy your life.
Why gambit when you can just develop and have a decent game? Just bringing unnecessary risk IMO.
Without the gambit - Black gains a development lead and a nice position. His bishop may be misplaced on g7 but white's queen is in an even worse position on f3, his knight on e2 is terrible, and he has trouble developing his dark squared bishop. In this otherwise symmetrical position, black is better.
With the gambit - Black gains development and lines, white's queen is exposed, and the position has been opened. Black should have full compensation for the pawn, but why should he play this way when he has an easy way to play for an advantage without gambiting a pawn.
Another Parham forum. How exciting! 
White's bishop is also exposed on c4, and he may have to play a3 to preserve the bishop pair.
Houdini 1.5 x64 evaluates the position after 5. Ne2 as -0.08, which is almost equal.
Hang on a sec let me post it.
