Its a very weird gambit. The idea is e4 e6 nf3 d5 d4?! Black will surely play dxe4, then white plays ne5. There isn't too much competition. Maybe a quick qg4 in this line could cause black some trouble, but ne5 nf6! Basically just puts black up a pawn. The knight on e5 cannot be kicked by f6 though, so black may have to spend some time dislodging it
Its a weird opening, I wouldnt play it
