[You can't move that Swashbuckling Square-Switcher.  It's pinned!]

A player in Colorado used to begin every game (White or Black) with
P-KB3 and K-B2.  He called it the Fried Fox opening.

Old players may remember the King's Own variation of the King's Gambit:
1 e4 e5; 2 f4 ef; 3 Kf2.  There's a nice trap after 3 ... Qh4+; 4 g3 fg+;
5 Kg2 Qe4+; 6 Nf3 gh, but I don't remember how it arises.

I also like Bird's Variation of the French: 1 e4 e6; 2 Bb5! (to prevent
... d5) a6; 3 Ba4 b5; 4 Bb3.  Black can get into trouble because of his
ventilated queen-side.  But 2... Qg5 forces 3 Bf1 with a draw by
repetition.

And don't forget 1 g4 g5; 2 f4 ... the "Coca-Cola" gambit.

My favorite is the Danish Pastry Gambit: 1 e4 e5; 2 d4 ed; 3 c3 dc;
4 Bf4! (not the hackneyed 4 Bc4) cb; 5 Be5 baQ; 6 Ba1, winning the
Queen for a Rook and three pawns.  White's material edge ensures an
easy victory.
