 Maybe this position fits the bill:

 White: Granda Zuniga Black: Seirawan, Buenos Aires 1993
 9. Nf3xe5 { A stunning move that resembles a gambit that in recent years gained
 some popularity in frivolous circles of the Internet Chess Club: 1. e4 e5
 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5?! }
 9...Nc6xe5 10. f2-f4 Ne5-c6 11. e4-e5 Nf6-g8 12. f4-f5
 So White has a pawn and a strong initiative for his piece, but of course it is
not at all certain if his sacrifice was correct.
 An attempt at refutation should begin with 12...Rb8, after which Seirawan in
his notes in Informant 57 gave 13. e6 dxe6 14. fxe6 f5 (or 14...f6) 15. Rxf5
Qd4+ 16. Rf2 as the main line. His verdict: unclear.
