The Falkbeer Countergambit is a chess opening that begins::1. :2.

Black disdains the pawn and instead makes an all-out attempt to take advantage of White's kingside weakness. A more modern interpretation of the Falkbeer is 2...d5 3 exd5 c6!?, as advocated by Aron Nimzowitsch.The opening bears the name of Austrian master Ernst Falkbeer who played the opening in as game against Adolf Anderssen [ [http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018932 Adolf Anderssen vs Ernst Falkbeer] , game played in 1851] . The Falkbeer is generally considered to slightly favor White. Only if White plays 3. fxe5? would it be a mistake, because Black can play 3...Qh4+, followed by 4. Ke2 Qxe4+ 5. Kf2 Bc5+ 6. Kg3 Qxe5+, securing a heavy positional advantage.

The Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings code for the Falkbeer Countergambit is C31.
