IMHO I think you go wrong in your third move. Instead of moving your dark bishop to c5, try moving your knight to d4 and play it as the Blackburn Shilling Gambit. This tempts white to take the center pawn, which he perceives as free, with the intention of forking your queen and rook on his next move with his knight. But if white does that, black has a mate in three, on the 7th move. Blackburn Shilling Gambit is a short game, only 7 moves. If he doesn't take the bait, if he takes your knight instead of your pawn, then you are obligated to move your queen to f6, which he will answer with queen to f3, then trade queens with him whether he likes it or not. If he does not take the gambit, but you trade queens, you will still win, if you don't fumble, but it will be a longer game.

Well, here's the thing, Blackburn Shilling gambit is an established gambit. It's true, because it's a gambit, it will only fly if your opponent takes the bait, but the bait is sufficient to tempt many and grandmasters like it. If your opponent takes the bait, it's a rapid win for black. If your opponent doesn't take the bait you just need to know the attack lines to win anyway. Many a game has been won by Blackburn Shilling Gambit, and many by me, and when I play it, the computer analysis says I played with 99 percent accuracy, so the computer likes it fine. All you can say about is you don't like it, but that's just your humble opinion, and ignorance of Blackburn Shilling Gambit does not make it weak, it merely makes you ignorant of it.
