C20 1.e4 e5: Unusual White second moves (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Qh5)

I have tried to decrease the amount of games I play in order to be able to reply to moves made by my opponents faster. I am currently playing 186 games simultaneously which is a decent drop from the 216 games that is my current highest amount of simultaneous games. I could, of course, reply to moves made against me faster if I would not care that much of the outcome of the moves but I kind of like to win so I try make the best moves I possibly can. This mentality is probably what is the main reason for my rating increase in different sites. I have been able to increase my ratings at Red Hot Pawn, Chess.com and Queen Alice Internet Chess Club around 100 points in each site after I started playing correspondence chess again this year. Only on Red Hot Pawn though I am currently at my peak rating on the site which is 1821.
