I used this double gambit 10+ years ago, and although I do not remember for certain how deep I studied the different variations I am certain that it does not exist in any Encyclopedia Of Chess ( ECO ) book. I claim this as my own Opening until someone can prove me wrong. It was a long time ago when I founded this interesting double gambit opening; and even though I chain smoked dope while I played in those days, I am certain I created this opening myself; and as a result, I have named it The Jones' Opening!
Today I attempt to bring it back to life!
Please check it out and give me your opinion of White's possible advantage considering his gain in time, space, center control, powerful diagnols, early attack on the Opponent's King and strong possibilities of preventing opponent from castling!
Would you prefer Black's 2 point advantage instead of the positional advantage!
I figure it would be a great surprise opening during blitz games!
1.e4 e5 2.d4 ed 3.c3 dc 4.Bc4 cb 5.Bxb2
Study the different lines this opening might take if any of the gambits are refused and determine if it is sound. If both gambits are accepted does it look strong? ( if ...5.Bb4+ 6.Nd2 looks strong as g7 is threatened ect...)
Check it out! Your opinions are welcome!

This gambit has been known for a long time (I found a game with it played in 1863). It's usually called the 'Danish Gambit'.
It's definitely covered by all the major opening encyclopaedias, such as ECO, NCO, MCO.
A good line for black against it is: 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bxb2 d5! 6.Bxd5 Nf6 - returning one of the pawns for a safer position.
Although black should be able to handle the Danish, it's still a lively and fun opening with chances for both sides.
Well worth trying!

I prefer for black this continuation: 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Ac4 cxb2 5.Axb2 Ab4+ 6.Rf1 Cf6 7.e5 d5 8.Ab5+ Cfd7. But today after 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 the better move, for me, it is d5!

It's nearly impossible to come up with a "new" opening if you're aiming to be original in the first five moves...maybe you can find an improvement in move 10 or 18 (if you're good!!)...If you have a "new" set of moves for the first 5 or so moves then it is either flawed or not really new!
It's arrogance or ignorance to think otherwise...
