Yes, as the pic illustrates we are playing the King´s Gambit, an opening that is at least 500 years old!
For example the famous "Immortal Game" played in 1851 by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky was a King´s Gambit (if you don´t know it, check it out here).
Starting position is after 1.e4 e5 2.f4, Black to play:

I have since ages not played this, so I definitely have to check some lines so as not to play too embarrassingly 😆!
Result
Well, it didn´t help (I spent not enough time) and thus I did play embarrassingly ☹️. Anyway, I am not an e4-player.
Congratulations to the winner @lucianosky and runner-up @schamangerbert! @rodrook, as you were that close, I sent you 25 GLX, too!
