I wish people at my club played this kind of chess, my rating would be 300 points higher.
Perhaps your rating is 300 points lower than you like simply because the people you are playing are better than you.

By antipositional, I mean that it does not pertain to what most understand to be positional chess.
The fact that you don't use a word correctly doesn't mean it's meaning changes.
Forgive me if I am incorrect, but I understood positional chess to be more of the queens gambit declined, while tactical chess something like the Ruy Lopez. In other words, positional chess would be in fact where White bides his times to attack and the fight for the center is a bit slower, while in tactical chess the fight begins almost immedietly.
I also understand these are somewhat simplistic and vague definitions. Regardless, I don't think what I stated was incorrect.
As far as I can see the early Bc4 line loses after g2, Qf3 to Qh4+ followed by Qg4, pinning the white queen against the king, followed by gxh1=Q.
My rating would be higher if people would give me an advantage right out of the opening..
That depends if he is better than you or not.
If he is better than me then why would he try abd negate his advantage by playing something like the Grob?

After Bxf7+, why would black not play Kd8 instead of Ke7? Anyway, even in the line you give, black is easily won after Ke8 instead of Kf6. What is your point? That white can still win if black makes really terrible moves?
Why would black go pawn grabbing with Qxh2 when he can develop a piece and gain time attacking the white queen with Nf6, and looking to play an early d6/d5? This position is dead lost for white. Even so, black is still easily won after Qxh2, but he is making second best move, which he cannot keep doing.
All chess engines have flaws though. You have to force the engine to make repetitive moves and sooner or later the chess engines break and make stupid mistakes and you win.
What's perhaps scary is that I can definitely see successes happen in lower level chess blitzes with this thing. Have you ever seen the King's Gambit Accepted: Tumbleweed variation? It looks just stupid, and it probably is, but it still has a 100% win rate with both games of fairly high players.

I higly doubt if you can win one a game out of 1000 against an engine, unless the computer is unplugged.
