But!  the average blitz or bullet player is probably happy to play a wide-open tactical game with a pawn to the good and a theoretical advantage. 

A different idea to all the gambits Albin, Budapest, Benko, would be to try the Czech Benoni.  That kind of pawn structure, c4, d5, e4 vs. ...c5, ...d6, ...e5, is quite distinctive.  If you know how to play these positions, you can play quickly on "feel", and if you don't, you're sunk, because you sure ain't going to figure it out in three to five minutes.  The big question for both sides is when and how to push their f-pawns and what to do if the other side does.  It's suprisingly easy to mis-time.

If nothing else, you'll likely surprise the guy.

i don't understand why people hate the englund so much. i can hold fritz 9 to a draw with it on long time controls, and do pretty well with it in speed games against humans. there's very few decent sources of analysis on the opening, and it narrows your scope of research a lot on the black side of the board. i can see why people wouldn't want to play it with normal time controls, but its pretty good for blitz.

My intention is not to "fool around", but to play something unexpected and dangerous, not pointless.
1. ... b6 would certainly be unexpected, but I don't think it's dangerous.
And yes, normally I play "correct" (or at least semi-correct) openings.

Hi everybody!
I'm searching for an effective opening for black against 1.d4 for blitz play!
It should be a little uncommon, doesn't have to be correct but dangerous (but not the type of 1.d4 e5?).
And perhaps not too difficult to play. 

Looking forward to your suggestions!
