I like the fried liver attack, it's not weird because it is very playable for white though.

Not sure if he could get out but that was a fun game for me but definitely not a fun one for him...

We are having a vote? cool, 7thSense should create a new thread just for voting on the "weirdest opening"

Well for an opening to be the weirdest it surely:

[1] has to be played by a titled player against other titled players on a regular basis.

[2] The player has to be called a genius or a lunatic for playing it depending upon who you talk to.

So I put forward the games of Australian IM Aleksander Wohl where he played 1...c6 and 2...Na6 against players like Naum Kagan . Someone should post a Wohl game.

J3 is a weird opening... aka.. there is no weird opening just rare openings that people don't exercise

if you want a wierd opening, try blitz chess. You'll get so many troll openings, that it will make you want to quit playing live chess here.
