Title: Omega Gambit For white
ThreadText: # Omega Gambit For white
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-07-31)
  
  My question is about Omega Gambit.
  
  ```
  [Title "Omega gambit"]
  [fen "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"]
  
  1. d4 Nf6 2. e4 Nxe4
  
  ```
  
  Is it too dangerous for white? what are the ideas for white? And what is the winning percentage for white? Is it still played among titled players?
