You got it right! I am talking about Albin Countergambit. Has anyone tried to counter Albin Countergambit like this. My friend did it with success.
How can I counter this if someone plays like this when I use Albin Countergambit? Your comments are most appreciated.
Thanks,

I believe Spassky played like this as White once.
Black should reply 5...f6 here.
5 .... f6 or 5 .... g5 seem to afford Black decent winning chances (above 40% in the database I looked at!).
In blitz, I'd seriously consider Nxe5.
[edit: the more I think about it... I'd probably consider for standard as well]
Why not 5...f5? If 6.exf6, then 6...Nxf6 and if 6.exf5, then 6...Bxf5
