Hmm. It's close to the Danish Gambit, but not quite. Thing is, if I make e4, and you threaten with d5, then I reverse the direction of the opening and back up with f3, followed by d4 (unless you d5xe4, in which case I f3xd4, and now you're starting at more of a disadvantage).
If you don't make the d5 threat, then I continue with the preferred variation, d4 and c3.
If you bring a knight out to threaten the structure at some point in a different way, then it's trivial for me to counter with a knight of my own. Any attempt you make to capture the center pawns with a knight usually results in one of my pawns and one of my knights sitting in the center of the board, which is a fairly strong position.
Generally speaking, I lose with this opening to players that accept the initial gambit with some losses, and then continue a very aggressive game, preventing me from continuing the rear development that I need to make the opening useful. But, if the opponent hesitates in the first few moves ... then they are MINE!
