Aww, thanks 🙂.

Nothing specific though. 1... Qd4 doesn't work as the queen get's trapped 😛.

Nice try though.

I believe this is correct, although I could be mistaken. 🙂

There might be a variation on it played by a Polgar.
Yes, that is a nice game (seven moves or so). Haven't seen it in years. Probably a reader will enlighten us...

edit: somewhat similar to this, although I remember it to be a bit different.

4. ... Qh4+ doesn't work? I've played it at least 3 times here. 🙂
The game reminds me of Marshall's trap vs Alekhine.

Naturally, 5.a3 wasn't played. 🙂
