It is a transposition to the Blackmar-Diember Gambit.

5.Qxf3 is the Ryder Gambit. Black does best to play 6...Qg4, offering a trade of queens. But after, 6...Qb4, black may fall into the Halosar Trap.

Okay, thanks. I like this opening, but it seems too obvious that the sacrifices are a set-up. Is this a successful opening? Or is White at too large of a disadvantage if Black plays something other than 5...Qxd4?
