Greetings,
Talking of unusual lines...
Apart from the above (and GPAs, as mentioned in another thread) I've been seeing a fair amount of 1.e4, c5; 2.Bc4 followed by d3, Nf3, Nbd2, etc., on FICS.
Normally, I'd play a Dragon (2..., d6) or Accelerated Dragon (2...,g6) against 1.e4, but once I see 2.Bc4, I play 2..,Nc6 - just in case they go for 3.Qc3, which I've also faced on FICS!
Sometimes I get 1.e4, c5; 2.Nf3, d6; and then 3.Bc4, when I play 3..., Nc6 as before.
I've also had a Wing Gambit thrown at me by a 1800+ player.
It seems hardly anyone's playing standard lines on FICS!
Kindest regards,
Dragan Glas
