[edit] Two Knights Defence:

[edit] 5 ... Nxd5!?

Immediate recapture of the pawn sometime thought dubious at other times theory considers it quite playable. From a positional point of view it's not considered a good move due to the creation of open lines that White can now use to aggressively attack for this reason it's rarely played at master level.
