Annotated by charleshiggie (2227): This was Steve's great come-back match - his first in the evening leagues for about 3 years - against his old club! Steve's comments are in inverted commas. The Dunst Opening is a chess opening where White opens with the move: 1. Nc3.
This fairly uncommon opening may have more names than any other: it is also called the Heinrichsen Opening, Baltic Opening, van Geet's Opening, Sleipnir Opening,… |
Annotated by mr5reasons1 (1798): I usually play 1.b4, but this is my curve ball opening -- the Dunst or van Greet. I like to see 1...d5 as the response. Now we are transposing into a Larsen-Bird, an opening I don't have a great record playing with. Now that's hyper-modern chess. It took 12 moves for one of us to thrust a pawn into the center of the board. 19th Century chessmasters are rolling in their… |
Annotated by reachforgoals (1200): what opening is this?
I am black knight double moved the knight both knights out same pawn moves likes to move knights bishop out why is he just moving his knights. A weird start to this chessgame took knight I do not understand what this player is doing. good at least I do not have to deal with those knights any more moved pawn moved back now he is the mood on moving pieces. I do not think… |
Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everybody! Just to say that Freddy gave me the perfect opportunity to attack him and guess what, I muffed it big time! I started off with the Dunst Opening and it transposed into a Sicilian Dragon Yugoslav Attack which according to the World Database is favourable to white - so I shouldn't have lost this game should I?! Just to say I dared to try a speculative unsound exchange sac on the… |
Annotated by chesstacular (1807): This game is a superb example of the Dunst (Sleipner, Heinrichsen) opening and all its subtleties. White will use constant pressure and ferocious tactics, forcing black to find narrow escapes time and again. It is truly a clash of the titans! Enjoy! Here black opts to go with the seldom-used Gertrude's Gambit. White accepts. the standard follow-up... But the crafty knight gets away! And steals … |
Annotated by chessknave (1560): This is not an opening choice that presents the most attacking potential for white. The moves up to 2...dxe4 are book for the Dunst Opening. Bc4 would be the Dunst-Hector Gambit. With this move white maintains material equality and has a developed piece in the center. The knight controls g5 and c5 while it influences f6 and d6. There is a sacrifice potential at f6 which offers nothing at the… |
Annotated by paddl3s (1200): Think they call this the dunst? Maybe I should play d4 but I like this line Probably a mistake in hindsight but looked good at the time! Strong move, making Bf5 look bad. Looks pretty toothless to me.. The point is to force my bishop away from the defence of the mate on f7 but this covers it nicely. Forced. forced again. I know he ( and I ) am going to castle long, so thought I'd force… |
