About the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and other chess foolishness...

Knoop, W (2059 - Van de Griendt, JW (2352) |
1/2-1/2 (TCh-NED 2009-10) 9/26/2009 |
Here's a BDG that showed up in this week's TWIC. It's a line that you don't see that often--although Alekhine once played it in a simultaneous exhibition (see the second game).
Morcom, H. - Brooker, Chris H |
1-0 (Guernsey Open) 10/21/2009 |
Alekhine, Alexander - Blount, L. |
1-0 (28 Board Simultaneous, Providence, Rhode Island) 12/23/1923 |
