Actually it is unusual. Here are the stats from my own book, with several
million games in it:
move played % score learn CAP sortv P% P
Nc3 27836 72 0.04 0.54 -655.36 2001.0 0 Y
Nf3 9263 24 0.04 0.00 -655.36 333.8 0 Y
cxd5? 657 1 -0.48 0.00 -655.36 24.6 0 N
g3? 431 1 -0.24 0.00 -655.36 16.5 0 N
e3? 219 0 -0.12 0.00 -655.36 8.9 0 N
a3? 44 0 -0.27 0.00 -655.36 2.6 0 N
c5? 31 0 -0.21 0.00 -655.36 2.1 0 N
e4? 30 0 0.03 0.00 -655.36 2.1 0 N
Bf4? 26 0 0.00 0.00 -655.36 1.9 0 N
37,000 games with Nc3 or Nf3. 657 with cxd5. I'd call that "unusual". :)
