Working too many hours and just holding this up. Thanks for the games everyone.

THawk ... wesnerm intimated that the 4.f3 starting point wasn't available. I'd love to have us all start our games from that point, but I'm not sure it can be strictly enforced at this juncture. I would suggest we start at 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3, where we could accept or decline. Perhaps, most of us will oblige. I know I will.

Actually, this looks like the original "Blackmar gambit". The Blackmar-Diemer as far as I know starts after 4.f3...

Recently started studying this opening. I figure the best way to learn is by doing.

Thanks for the tournament.
