This sharp variation of the Vienna Game is not for the faint of heart.
Though it's not the greatest opening, it is playable at high levels of chess, and was used by Alexei Shirov in exhibition games.
The chess author Tim Harding considered this opening so violent that "a game between Dracula and the Frankenstein monster would not seem out of place."
