What Do You Think Of This?

Sort:

I have played this opening twice (or something very similar to this) against opponents stronger than me. One was a 2400+ opponent I felt I played pretty well until the end, and the other was a 1700+ I just lost due to making a huge blunder allowing their queen to get away with mine being captured, but feel I could've came out stronger if I didn't make the move I did.

I haven't studied openings, so I was wondering if you think this is good or bad?

I have :-D. I meant past the bishop capturing the pawn, to the pawn push to threaten knight capture. As I said before, I never study openings, and I have never seen anything like this from an opponent. After the bishop capturing the pawn, I was just making moves that I thought were good. So far from what I have seen the opponents play against this is the dark square bishop attacking the queen, that is the one threat I had to look out for.

Thanks for the comment AnthonyCG. From what I have seen against players who play f4 usually accept, but do see what you are saying about preparing for a King's Gambit. I will be more specific in the title next time.
