An opening Chess players may employ is called the "Double Danish Gambit". The premise is rather simple, you sacrifice 2 pawns in exchange for a highly active and dangerous pair of Bishops.
However, could there be a way to checkmate in six moves while being more easily hidden than a similar opening: Scholar's Mate? This is the variation I propose: A risky yet rewarding attack.
What just happened? The answer is simple, the opponent foolishly sees the valuable Rook as a more worthy target than the Bishop and captures it. Unfortunately, this move does not protect against the Queen capturing the King's Bishop's Pawn, which results in a checkmate. The King cannot move without being captured nor can it capture its attacker without being itself captured.
While this is a powerful opening trap indeed, there is one move that annihilates the opening.
Now that the main trap has been dealt with, there is no way in which White can employ a backup plan? That assumption would be incorrect.
White has once again won after Black has been too greedy and tried to win an extra Rook.
I am open to feedback on how likely the opponent is to fall for this trap as well as coming up with an apt name for it. I am currently thinking of "Viking Gambit" after the Vikings, of which the Danes whom the Danish Gambit is named were part of.
Easy, easy, EASY equality!
5...d5! 6.Bxd5 Nf6! 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Qxd8 Bb4+ 9.Qd2 Bxd2+ 10.Nxd2
Dead equal. White has nothing!
And if 5.Qf3, what reject would take the Rook? Come'on, Man! A possum is smarter than that!
The Danish Gambit proper, and your 5.Qf3 variant, are both totally useless!
I will play you 100 games as Black for $100 a game! Oh, and my 5th move in EVERY game will be 5...bxc1=Q CHECK!
Oh, and then I will take the other Bishop!
