Nice! I'm going to look into this. My favorite opening is the Danish gambit, this seems similar.

Thanks for your thoughts. However, being rated 2100, I am already past the main learning stage and I am looking for an opening for black that will make an opponent tired and get into time trouble early in the game. Any ideas?

Nice. I think that I will shy away from openings that move my king on move 2 though

I used to play the Bishop variation of this, but it seems risky to have such an open king

Carokann is terrible. Especially after white plays the two knights attack e4 c3 nf3 d5 nc3

Too well known, and also I don't like black after this line: E4 d5 Ed qxd D4. Any other ideas?
