Anyone play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (BDG)?
Sort:
I liked your sixteenth move. A clever way to get the material advantage. Of course your thirteenth move was the right move also.

If Black plays correctly, he gets a clear advantage. Here is the refutation (remember to use the move list):
Your welcome in advance! ;)
I guess some here don't understand the party is over for White after the pawn goes to c6. Nothing put crude attacks by white on Black's kingside. I'll admit Black has to be carful... but once you have studied those positions ... they are fairly easily to be dealt with. Then White suffers, pieces must get exchanged off (or Black assumes the initiative) and White is left with a bad endgame game
The problem with Gambit's like the BDG... is that once you learn the correct pawn formation to deal with it... They become toothless.
The From's Gambit (Playing the Bird as White) is where I realized this.
Every one of these Gambit's (The BDG, Englund, From etc) have a pawn formation that negates White's gambit. IMO... I would not build a repertoire around these Gambits.
One more thing that I'll add... With the rise of the Center Counter defense... White just walks into this.

I play ▶️ it. I gained 500 elo with that on Rapid and Blitz and 400 elo on bullet on bullets. Most people blundered their bishops for free
