Now you're just giving Lev a hard time for no reason.. Oh, I'm sorry - my bad - I forgot about the rich history of the reputable Blackmar-Diemer in world championship matches.

You would not call the Danish, the Evans and the KG unorthodox either, would you? They have an equally rich history in WCh matches.

It depends on what level of orthodoxy you mean by "unorthodox", but I think the difference in orthodoxy between the BDG and, say, the Danish is that the BDG gets scorned a lot more by high-level players and its established theory rarely makes its way into mainstream openings works. In practice the two openings are probably used with a similar frequency at similar levels of play.
