I love it - sort of Danish Gambit meets the Alekhine Defence!

Black could try and get away with dxc3, certainly, but I think 14...N8d7 would be sounder. Black seems to have every chance of driving the invaders off f6 with moves like Qf5 and h6 coming up, and if he can do that he will be comfortably better.

Concerning Game 17 of the recent Book by John Cox.

13 d5  "the only sensible way of meeting the threat
of ... exd4"

Can't White play instead 13 Nd2 ?
A possible continuation (perhaps Black is not choosing
the best moves) is
13 Nd2    exd4
14 Ne4    dxc3
15 0-0-0  cxb2
16 Kb1
