Blackburne used the Leonardo gambit vs Bird:

Sorry conga... Look like nobody else play.

Shame.

This opening is already called the Stamma Gambit. I’m shocked somebody even named it.

It is the Leonardo Gambit, according to Eric Schiller, but it wouldn´t be strange if it had another name, which happens with other openings.

Lion_XVI

Lion gambit.

h4 avoids g5 but what if black goes for 3...d5?

h4 seems ridiculous to me.

Even 3...Nf6 with Nh5-Ng3 at some point seems very good.

yes, h4 is sound only after black has played g5

Lion_XVI

Can't you show a Board... these coordinates are confusing?!
