     Want to learn the Albin Counter Gambit?  You probaly never heard it before.  This opening is accually a great opening, with simple development and moves easy to remember.  This opening is one of my favorite openings and I always win games with it.  Anyway, lets get started on this opening.1.d4 One of the most popular first-moves for white.1....d5 Probaly the most popular response to 1.d4. 2.c4 e5 A very interesting position.  You could take any pawn but the best move for white is 3.dxe5.  Now black gains some space by doing3....d4.  After this, you can move anywhere you want but the best moves are 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3  Now black can move the bishop out so black can castle queenside.  White will castle kingside(g3 was for a fianchetto).  Now you can really start playing the  moves you want now.

Well its not exactly the final position. I often play the white side against someone at my club and the score is pretty much even so I respect this opening. It is very complex so I wouldn't recommend it without a lot of practice in friendlies
