Van Geet Opening

Van Geet Opening

Opening repertoires generally operate by restricting your opponent's options. The dirty little secret, of course, is that you are limiting your own at the same time. The van Geet operates on the opposite principle - invite your opponent to play in an arena where literally anything goes, where variations matter less than understanding and agility, where experience with specific positions is personally earned and extended each time you choose to start a game with 1.Nc3.
