1. f4
Henry Bird's opening.

 
1... e5
The classic From Gambit. Other strategies against the Bird don't work as well (especially 1...d5, the Reversed Dutch.)

 
2. g4
A suicidal move (what else could it be?).

 
2... Qh4+
Checkmate in two moves. How saddening. This is why I didn't say who white was.
