The Toilet Variation (Jasim vs Faisal 2002)
Legend has it that this opening was conceived in the 1970's by a Sicilian Grand Prix player in the restroom: hence its crappy name. It doesn't help matters that the Toilet Variation quickly flushes away any advantage White could hope for out of the opening.
1. e4 c5
2. f4 d5
If black doesn't push d5, white may just play it like a Labourdonnais variation of the french defense.
Otherwise...
3. Nc3 d4
4. Nb1 Nc6
5. Bc4
white is ok if he has time to play g3 bg2 nf3 etc. The only problem is an early e5 where after nf3 exf4 is annoying.
5. ... e5
6. d3
White is playing for equity at best here, but it is a very unusual game. Some people are into that sort of thing.
