1.e4 f5
Crazy stuff - I'd never seen it before, and on a whim my friend played it against me. The game followed 2.exf4 Nf6 3.d4 d6 4.Bd3 when he decided to go crazy and play 4...Ng4 5.h3 Nxf2? 6.Kxf2 when I had no problem defending. However, I think that if he'd been playing seriously he may have had some solid chances, with smooth development and the initiative for the pawn (Maybe 4...e5 5.fxe6 Bxe6 would have been interesting). Anyhow, anybody ever played against it or with it? It seems quite playable.

My friend, who is about 2100 USCF, used to play this crap against me all the time, and actually beat me a couple times, with this line:
1. e4 f5 2. ef Kf7 3. Qh5+ g6 4. fg Kg7
Ridiculous.
