Van Geet Opening: Pfeiffer Gambit, Sleipnir Countergambit

A dynamic and aggressive opening that aims to control the center and put pressure on the opponent early on.

The opening begins with a knight development move followed by a pawn push to support the knight's position. Black responds by challenging White's central pawn with a pawn of their own, leading to a pawn exchange in the center. White then continues to develop their pieces, with the knight making another move to a central square. Black pushes their e-pawn to create a strong pawn center and gain space on the board. White responds by developing their knight to put pressure on Black's position. This opening can lead to sharp and tactical positions where both players must be careful with their moves to maintain the balance. It is a lesser-known opening that can catch unprepared opponents off guard and lead to exciting play for both sides.
