I have a few unusuall openings that I like

The Belgrade Variation in the Four Knights Game

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.Nd5

I once played an offbeat variation in the sicilian in a tournament

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g4

My favorite unusual opening is the Max Lange Gambit. Check out the move list to see some of the traps.
