I thought maybe a thread dedicated to strange games we've played, or maybe even ones where we've tried experimenting with different ideas and the outcome just looked weird. I have been experimenting with different ideas lately and some of my games have reflected this.

Game 758923

I have no idea what I was doing here. I actually had to go to the game history and replay it to figure out how I got to that position. It just looks weird.

I've posted this one up before but it still amazes me my position half way though when all my pieces are back on the back rank.
Game 122666

This opening "the bulgarian defense" always leeds to slightly odd looking games. I like this one because of the end position, two pawns down but strangley defendable (more by luck than by skill though)
Game 723709

But for the king of odd it has to be the "hippo" it leads to some insane crazy positions.

Yowsa! Mighty odd game. There were quite a few moves where I piece coulda been dropped, I'm surprised that game lasted as long as it did but it's a fun game to look at so I'm glad it did 🙂. Josh

Ahha more hippo converts, although I think it is only fair to warn you that it is an opening with plenty of dangers. I've lost quite a few games with it, but the one that springs to mind the most, was lost with an excellant rook sacrifice which completely crushed my position in a single move. I post it up as a warning.....
