Its the Gibbens-Wiedehagen Gambit.

I posted a while ago, where thus was played by none other than Humphrey Bogart. Dunno if that's a recomendation :)

Here are some of the highest rated games I could find with it. Never seen it before, looks very speculative and fun.

I played this OTB against Albert Ponelis, ex South African champion. I lost, but after the game he showed me I threw away a win.
