Comments.Text: In the first position. I would like to be white (against a human in blitz :) ). I would, after the queen moved away, finish development, something like: d4, Nc3, Be3, 0-0-0, Bc4. And I think white forces are mobilized of the attack, and I think it is hard for black to finish development and/or get their king to safety. Black has to play very precise, which gives white good practical chances. I have not looked at this position with an engine, so I don't what to make my comment an answer.

  If you type your moves into Google it will actually find games that open that way. It's quite cool. I use the move numbers as well as the actual moves. Basically, a copy-paste of the first few moves. Your game seems to be a ECO "C30".
  
  For your Qh4+ question, I get [this link](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?result=1-0&gamekey=Qe2Qe7e4Qh4exd6Qxe2f4Qxe4fxe5d6g3e5/Nxe2Bxd6&notkey=Qe2Qe7e4Qh4exd6Qxe2f4Qxe4fxe5d6g3e5/xxx&title=1.%20e4%20e5%202.%20f4%20Qh4%20%203.%20g3%20Qe7%204.%20fxe5%20d6%205.%20exd6%20Qxe4%20%206.%20Qe2%20Qxe2%20%207.%20Nxe2%20Bxd6%20).
  
  The gist is you get this continuation:
  
  ```
  
  [fen ""]
  1. e4 e5 2. f4 Qh4+ 3. g3 Qe7 4. fxe5 d6 5. exd6 Qxe4+ 6. Qe2
  Qxe2+ 7. Nxe2 Bxd6 
  
  ```
  
  And you really don't have a lot to worry about. In the games in the link above, White developed easily, Black's pawn structure was smashed, and White won pretty easy endgames.
