Surprising : gambit

I just played, as black, an optimistic and impulsive gambit game, with no clear compensation for the pawn.
I could finish the game with an exciting and joyful thematic exchange sacrifice though.
However, after the game Stockfish claimed that I played a flawless game. I am very surprised !!

Since when do chess engines "dig" real gambits, haha ? :) (Queen's Gambit is not a real gambit as white very often gets back the pawn soon).

What do you think about this ?
In my opinion it's a good opening. I think it's somewhat similar to Danish Gambit. You should test it against high rated opponents. I frequently test crazy openings against 2000+ rated opponents. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. You should try this against 2500+ rated opponents and see how it goes.
Looks garbage but should be alright. Like Tangelo said its similar to the Danish gambit but reverse colors.
Lool. 5 0 against a rabbit isn't chess. It's poker on steroids.

Your move order needs work. 3. Nf3 gives White an easy time of it, either ...dxe4 4. Nxe5 or ...Nc6 4. Nbd2 seem fine. Same goes after Nf6 - Nf3 should be automatic from White. Come back with a game against a quality opponent.

Perhaps you have heard about this thing called tourneys ?
In those tourneys, on Lichess, one can be paired against a 900 player, or a 1600 or a 2300 rated player.
(Unfortunately most 2400+ players waste their time here only with playing in bullet ("casino chess") tourneys)

The point of my posting was that Stockfish did not complain about the rather unmotivated gambit pawn that I sac-ed.

The point was not about ratings of either player.
1100 rated players can have brilliant moments, while 2300 rated players can blunder terribly from time to time.

So, why was Stockfish not complaining ?
Stockfish is a fish. All kinds of fish are always silent, they never complain.
After 4... c6 the evaluation dropped from -0.1 to +0.3. Probably not enough to complain. It thinks it's an inferior move, though.
You were going to be just a pawn down if your opponent wasnt scared of endgames. Seems he wanted to mate you, but he missed simple tactics, NOT exchange sacrifices lol.
