whats your favorite strange opening? (creepy crawly)

this is an old game but basically i was kinda inspired after watching a chess24 video on magnus trying to guess chess openings. one of them was the creepy crawly which starts with 1.a3 and then 2.h3 kind of forming into a hippo setup but the name is very interesting. it gives me halloween vibes and i got this idea from a member posting his victory against a titled player with it so i thought it be cool to show this opening. i kinda forgot to post this so yeah cool lol

The hippo works every time whites obviously better here

lol very sus

Like my pfp lol

I used to play 1. a3.

Or 1. Nc3.

This line came up a few times in OTB play:

Creepy Crawly is playable at IM level.

White can afford to give up 2 tempi.

I play 1.c3 pretty often, idk why

a friend of mine plays 1...a6 as black. it's not exactly a strange opening but i once accidentally play d4 instead of e4 in a really important OTB game.

my record with d4 is 1-0-0

In the game the opponent resigned or he lost on time ?
