It looks like a Blackmar-Diemer Grob Opening.
I will need to study this position. 4. f3 might be
more appropriate. I do not know at this point.
4.f3 exf3 5.¤xf3 e6³
But in this position I won't play the bishop to e3
because now the d4 pawn is rather poisonous
and there is a much better response should
Black consume the deadly meal.
7...£xd4 Black is perhaps expecting Be3.

Having played several Ryder Gambits recently, I
was used to Qxd4 and Be3 to chase her away.
