Danish Gambit Variant

Here is a new variation of the Danish Gambit I hope you all might enjoy, and perhaps incorporate into your own games.
 

While some may be skeptical, putting aside materialistic tendencies should reveal the truth.

@TheGreatOogieBoogie, I play 5.Qxd4 whenever i get that position from your diagram. I've tried a few different things, but I've had best success with that, developing the queen early but also making Black move their kight again. I believe that's what an engine says to do too but I can't remember. In any case I believe GM Nigel Davies was too pessimistic about this way of declining in his Foxy Openings VHS tape covering it at the very end and saying "last and certainly least" of it, in my opinion as someone who actually plays the Danish gambit 3...Nf6 is a little better than what he said.

Very promising variant. Great job!

After carefully analyzing your line, Beren, I must conclude that 1...e5 is an overzealous attempt to compete with White for space control. Upon sober reflection, it appears moving the e-pawn only one square encourages optimism regarding Black's chances.

After bxa1=Q I almost thought you were serious for a second there...

There is no way black can't counter this.
