Is the opening of Knight Sacrifice correct opening.

Why was GetClub able to win the game despite being a knight down?

Also, quickly get your king into the center where it can control more
squares

Sanny, every Russian schoolboy knows that all sacrifices are sound.
Other chess aphorisms you should program into GetClub include:

Develop your queen as soon as possible.
Develop rooks before knights and bishops.
A knight on the rim is full of vim.
No rook-and-pawn endgame is drawn.
Rooks belong in front of passed pawns.
Castling is for sissies.
Avoid eye contact with your opponent.
If there are no eyes, avoid all contact.

I think that one is safe to adopt. :)

Because here - unlike in most of the other games where it throws away
material - GC actually received decent compensation for the sacrificed
knight in the form of rapid development of its pieces and a strong
attack against black's weakened king position.
Whether it should objectively have been enough for an advantage or
even equality, I can't say. I'll leave that to the experts.
After 5 Bc4 Par Excellence was out of its opening book and the tactics
in the resulting position were beyond its ancient hardware's move
horizon.
Against stronger oposition, the gambit may not hold up, but then again
GC will most likely lose against a good player no matter what opening
it plays.
So you might as well leave it in. At least you're chess engine managed
to produce a decent game with it - even though Messrs. Hamppe and
Muzio deserve some of the credit as well ;-)
