[edit] Dunst Opening

[edit] 1. Nc3

A rarely played opening -- for pretty good reasons. Black's best response is to threaten to chase the White knight at c3 away with 1...d5. 1...e5 is dangerous for Black as it allows a center counterattack by White.

[edit] Statistics

Approximately chances: White win 35%, Draw 24%, Black win 40%
Estimated next move popularity: d5 37%, c5 26%, Nf6 13%, e5 11%
