About this opening
The Reversed Albin Countergambit (3.Nc3 c5) answers the Blackmar-Diemer by striking the center with ...c5, in a structure recalling the Albin Countergambit with colors reversed. Black gives up holding the e4 pawn to open lines and gain active counterplay. The game becomes open and unbalanced, each side banking on initiative rather than pawn structure.
