The Dunst Opening is a chess opening where White opens with the move:

1. Nc3
This fairly uncommon opening may have more names than any other: it is also called the Heinrichsen Opening, Baltic Opening, van Geet's Opening, Sleipnir Opening, Kotrè's Opening, Meštroviæ Opening, Romanian Opening, Queen's Knight Opening, Millard's Opening, Knight on the Left, and (in German) der Linksspringer.
