The idea is that you sacrifice the queen to move your rook to the open file, in order to deliver a checkmate, but this gambit also depends on a bit of luck, so you can’t rely on this too much. I think that housing this gambit against 100-1000 ELO players would be best.

This opening starts with scotch opening, to develop your pieces and to lure white out of safety, also, this gambit has only worked for black, but I will try for white as well.

There IS the Chinese Gambit for white, but it takes MUCH longer to do, and probably won’t work on players with more than 100-800 ELO…

P.S. this gambit is entirely made up by me, and not official, but is still effective

Fun fact: you did not sacrifice the queen.

I meant to let the opponent take the queen, to mobilize the rook.

Why would white blunder mate there? It seems really simple to play Bxc6 or h3

Because even if they didn’t blunder, it would have still been a losing position for white, as long as black doesn’t suddenly become an idiot.

How can white win material in this position?

Bxf7+, but what does that have to relate to anything

It’s not a gambit since it’s doesn’t sacrifice any material.

At the end, of white moves the knight to a sensible position, like d2, it wouldn’t be that bad

I've made this point before that the "Grob gambit with 2. Bg2" is not a gambit, despite having gambit in the name, so to be called a "gambit" the opening does not need to be classified as a gambit
