The Smith Morra Gambit

The Gambit and Attack is quite effective against players who don't know a lot about it. For example. A few years ago I competed in the Philadelphia Open. My 4th round player used it against me. Out of everything I had prepared for. I didn't prepare for that.

He crushed me in 8 moves. But then I beat a national master today who used it against me. Definitely a good secret weapon.
It is fairly forced, but another opening you could play is the Prix. If you are playing a lot of fast chess, most of the pieces go in the same place in the opening for white and there are lots of attacking chances.
