State Championship Openings

At the state championship tournament I was in this weekend, I faced many uncommon openings.

Round 1-Italian Game: Fritz Variation (white)

Round 2-A strange opening 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.b3 (black)

Round 3-Vienna Game: Frankenstein-Dracula Variation (black)

Round 4-Italian Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.d4 (white)

Round 5-Scotch Game with 4...Qh4 (black)

Also during round 5, the player sitting next to me opened with the Grob Opening, which he won against a solid 1500 player I believe.  He is a strong 1600 player who regularly uses the grob as white.  As black he uses the Borg Opening.

I also played the two games with the Traxler against the President of the Wilks Barre chess club in Pennsylvania.
