Oops. Nothing, indeed (maybe it's playable, but not close to the other variant).
I mixed up the lines with 5...Nxe4 6.0-0 Nxf2 7.Rxf2 Bd6 (which has killed a central pawn).
Sorry...
Peculiar Opening
Sort:
White stay good after 9.0-0 ( instead of 9.Nc3 ) and black can't castle ( at least - not immediately )

This is really getting ridiculous! It's bad enough that after all these centuries, the King's Gambit, the most suspicious opening in all of chessdom, has never been satisfactorily refuted (or 'busted' as Bobby put it). Now, on top of that, this absurd knight move may not only be sound..... it might be good!? Ay caramba!
I'm not sure the KG in itself is suspect, but this opening, as it defies some many chess axioms, certainly is. However, like some other odd openings, proving it isn't as easy as it first seems. There have been more good ideas here than I expected and I'm grateful for them all.
I wasn't being so serious either but just wanted to emphasize the difference between the KG main lines and KG offshoots.
Here is my article on the Eisenberg Gambit. Thanks everyone.

@qqrnprn: 9.O-O looks pretty good, but it's not all beer and skittles for white after 12.d4. I'm not so sure the queen can just charge off to black's queenside and try to wreak havoc without significant consequences......
Melvinbluestone, the things are going nice in your example for black , but 13.Re1 isn't the best white's move. I suggest 13.Bxf4 .
Irontiger, after 5...Bd6 what will answer black to 6.Nc3( defending e4 pawn) with intention 7.d4 ?
