Van Geet Opening: Kluever Gambit
Overview
Van Geet Opening: Kluever Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
Play reaches this position via 1. Nc3 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. d3, after 5 plies of opening development.
It is a direct variation of Van Geet Opening.
