This time I tried the exact same opening against the updated computer hard, this was the result:
Did I discover a new opening?!
Sort:
Lol, i was just about to say same thing, because i tried on hard that one too. Well i'm really guessing that this isn't a new opening, because most of those are explored already. The name of this opening i can't tell, but you can always check it from game explorer or somewhere. And you can run it throug some computer analysis.
It's ECO B25f Sicilian Nimzowitsch only you come off the line with 4.Bc4. c4 or Nc3 are the normal lines.

Ummm, why would a computer that is rated 2000 allow mate in one with 7...d5?? in that second game? Isn't 7...Qe8 winning for black because of the extra piece? Either way, your bishop sac looks unsound, and the fact that the computers play extremely co-operatively in both games makes me a bit suspicious as to weather the games actually happened in the first place.

If you think you had found a new opening/variation always try to check it with a database. A very good free online database for openings can be found in the link below.

If you find a variation which doesn't exist in that database there's a big risk that it's actually a TN.
Though it should be added that not every move order outside of the database would be worthy of that label.
A TN should be unexplored, but also actually good to play. That's the catch.
when you play against a slot machine, expect it to let you win sometimes.

The games he posted are quite easy to replicate, since the computer always plays the same way. I was able to get the same result.
Either way, this demonstrates the quirks of the Chess.com computer more than the strength of the sacrifice.
On a tangent, I've also noticed the computer will stall out frequently if it doesn't "like" the complexity of the position.
Bxf7+ is refuted simply enough by Kxf7 Ng5+ Kg8 Qf3 Qe8, as mentioned before.
However, this computer is not a 2000 ;)

Whats a TN?
Since I'm very new to chess, I ask you, is this already a well known opening, and if so, what's the name of it?
Thanks.
