As faithful readers of Atlantic Chess News know, I have
been playing the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (BDG) since
1991 in tournaments, blitz, correspondence, and on the
Internet. I have had some nice wins over strong masters,
thereby proving the skeptics wrong. Below you will find
two of my games against masters, plus a few in the notes,
played recently.
12.Nxg6 hxg6 13.Nxd5 cxd5 14.0-0 Qe7 A classic BDG
position has arisen. Black’s pieces are all hunched
around his King, while White goes on attacking. Believe it
or not, this position is very common in the Teichmann
Defense.
