Van Geet Opening: Dunst-Perrenet Gambit
Overview
Van Geet Opening: Dunst-Perrenet Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A00, Flank Openings). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. Nc3 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. d3 to reach the canonical position.
The line is a first-level refinement of Van Geet Opening.
