The Philidor's Defense is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6, although there is no proof or any games to show that Philidor ever played this opening. The opening was actually noted by Lucena around 1497 and recommended by Ruy Lopez around 1561. Philidor did not like blocking his pawns with knights, so he considered 2...d6 better than 2...Nc6. Here is a game in which my opponent played the Philidor's Defense, traded down to an endgame, then got mated as my two rooks became activated.

Off the Wall Chess - A Grob Blog
The Grob, 1.g4, is very unusual, but playable if you don't fall for any traps. I wrote a book on it in 1988, which included a few hundred games and variations. I like to play it on the Internet to get out of their "book" and stay in my book. Here is an example of one of my games played on the Internet.

Off the Wall Chess - The Hyperaccelerated Dragon
The Hyperacclerated Dragon in the Sicilian Defense (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6) is a hypermodern way of playing the Sicilian. The Dragon is characterized by the fianchetto of Black's g-pawn. The Dragon name may have been derived from the resemblance of Black's pawn structure to that of the stars in the constellation Draco. Or maybe Black's position is supposed to be a fearful creature like a dragon. In either case, I attacked the dragon and slayed it with a mate after baiting it with my two rooks, which I sacrificed.
