I know exactly which is why I don't understand why it is called the Van Geet Opening: Nowokunski Gambit
How would this arise from 1. Nc3?

but i guess chess.com is also guilty, because it calls both of these openings "king's gambit accepted: king's knight gambit"
real king's knight gambit:
fake king's knight gambit:
Chess.com's done that so many times, it just forgets about en passant...
Here are two links to Oldchesstempo, to the same position reached by different move orders, and with different names...

I was on the Lichess analysis board for a change to look at their member database (it has all the members games rating 1600+), when I played this one variation on the analysis board
On the Chess.com board it says this is the King's Gambit Accepted: Mason-Keres Gambit, but on the Lichess board it says this is the Van Geet Opening: Nowokunski Gambit, the Van Geet opening being 1. Nc3. My question is how would that position come out of 1. Nc3, thanks!
