You were right.Portuguese opening is 2Bc5,quite unusefull i would say.About the game u had vry interesting ideas, you play the kind of chess style i appreciate.
Interesting idea with f4?! You should do some more analysis on that move. Use Rybka and your own brain to pound out some moves. It may be good in blitz but not in correspondence. Or it may be a novelty that you could play in tournaments. It is hard to say at the moment.

According to rybka, the black defense was perfect, with most deviations winning for white almost immediately. I don't know how much more analysis I can do WITHOUT the help of an engine, the line is too complex.
It would seem you're right... a great novelty, even at high levels, but not correspondence material.

To me f4?! looked hugely optimistic, and was never going to work. It is possible it is a style thing though, because my coach says I need to play more aggresively. (The games I have seen you post, would not make that comment with you 
).
Think after 6...d5 need to find a better continuation, because letting black get too much after what you played. Maybe 7pxp followed by Bg5 not really sure, because don't play this opening.
it is called the bishops opening because i have been studying it quite a lot recently.
Obviously, I got pounded. I actually understood the majority of the moves... what I'm looking for from you, the reader, the kibitzer, the fellow chess nerd, etc... is a second opinion. Give this game your careful attention and maybe we can all learn from each other. I've included the name of my opponent (without asking :S) because I feel he deserves the credit... hope no one is offended :).
Enjoy!
