Games with different openings

[oren]

Strange openings came up in another thread recently. I figured I would start a topic with games that have interesting openings and hope other people add to it.

I can't say I ever saw this second move before. I don't see any examples but I'm sure ez4u will get something in his database.

That game looks alot like the one in The Hikaru no Go new year special, in fact I'm kinda thinking that it is the very game they used in the special:o

But putting that aside. I thought I would post a classic game of awesomeness by guess who? :p

Them Go players is bonkers!

I like strange openings, and these last two games look out of whack for me.

All three games are amazing, being nº2 one of my favorite off all times-
I wondered how did Cho Chikun react when Yoda Norimoto played that move

Gan Siyang is always good for a great opening. It's a shame he drops this one.
