Do you play the "safe" 3. cd5 Bb1 4. Qa4 line? Or the wild 3. Qb3 variation?

in this position I might try f3 and Nc3 either one,but both will eventually get played, instead of those two moves.

what is the idea of this gambit? I have never seen it before and it doesn't seem to help development or control the center like most gambits do.

Nf3, Nc3 are heavily suggested as the next move for white. I would play Nc3.
Qb3 is also a viable move but not as popular.

No chance of that happening!! Plus, I don't want to play your copy of Fritz 11... I know it would win!
