It is called the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, most often seen via 1. d4 d5 2. e4, going straight for the center.

This is a slightly inferior way to enter the Blackmar Diemer, as Black has the extra option of playing the Hubner Defense e.g. Nxe4 instead of dxe4 which simply transposes. Better is 2 e4, although this defense occurs in the Indian game, when Black plays an early d5.
