How successful would you say this trap would be in a 3 to 5 minute blitz game? Even if Black does not fall for the trap, this opening looks fun to play. Any other tricks or traps to share related to this opening would be greatly appreciated. Smile

I wouldn't say it's worth it.  No one really wants the second pawn right away, and you're stuck with the queen where the knight should be.  The trap is probably too well known anyways.
