Look for "Gibbins-Weidenhagen Gambit" or "Poisoned Spike" if you want to be amused by a semi crazy gambit. You might even find a game played by Humphrey Bogart using the gambit. Fun Stuff!

Did Black resign on move 4 or is this just for illustrative purposes and that came later? I think we're in "book" until Nxf2 but that's just a little too aggressive for me!
