Hi, I’ve just invented a new opening
It starts like this...
1.e4 c5
2.d4 cxd4
3.c3 dxc3
4. Bb4 cxb2
5. Bxb2
I call it the Kowson Gambit and is like a danish against the Sicilian.
Enjoy!
I think it’s good in blitz and bullet games for it is very attacking and aggressive
It's similar to the Danish gambit but Black still has the e pawn. After 5...e6 Black has a great advantage. I would play it only in bullet or blitz games as a surprise weapon.
You could argue that e6 doesn’t control many central squares and blocks off the Bishop, though
I know this opening as the "Double Morra Gambit"
I don't think it's officially known as that, though.
If you look at some engine lines, you will find that most plans are nearly identical to the ones of the Smith-Morra, but the dark square bishop is rather misplaced on b2 (what is it doing there exactly?).
Usually in the Morra the bishop pressures c7 with threats of coordinating there with the knight via Nb5, or the bishop pressures d6 together with a rook on the d file, after black has moved his pawn there (which happens most of the time). Secondly your knight wants to develop to c3 so it will temporarily block your bishop (this is no big deal, but why would you give your pawn if your pieces will get in their own way after that? thats not ideal development).
I do not see a reason to give up the b-pawn, as it is not really an ideal tempo gain, since the bishop will have to reposition to become really useful.
I do not really see any upsides to the "classical" Smith Morra : -(

Also your argument that e6 does not control many central squares kind of misses the point of what black is trying to do. Black is two pawns up and wants the position as closed as possible, so he curls into a ball, gets king to safety, trades pieces if possible. Only once that is achieved will he go for the center and try to win the game due to his material advantage.
That was very fun! I've enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for using my opening!,
@TheGodOfGambit you exchange c pawn not e pawn
depth 47 -1.67 stockfish
depth high -3
after play bxb2 depth 30 -1.00
