Opening questions continue!

Message:
Let me give you a web site that with a little playing about in it will give you a good feel for most openings as the site has thousands logged and their variations. You can hit clear the board anytime and then click on the piece you want moved and options will appear to choice from. Once you hit a known opening it labels it for you and shows you the BEST responces and also alternative ones. Even explains the overall theme of the opening. In the main page hit on clear board or go to drop window and short or long list of openings. Alot on the site so investigate.

Hi,
I don't know if it is called the benko gambit. But it can be a good opening if you can build a strong attack.
The opening is:-
1. e4 c5
2. d4 cxd4
3. c3 dxc3
4. Bc4 cxb2
5. Bxb2 Nf6
6. Nf3 e6
7. O-O b6
8. Re1 d6
9. Nc3

Have played a game with this opening?
