Blackmar-Diemer Great Carlini

Rob Hartelt sent me this game shown on the Coffee Chess channel on YouTube listed as New Hustler vs The Great Carlini. Black reportedly has a USCF blitz rating over 2200. The young sunglass wearing winner flashed a Paul Morphy picture on his phone after his victory. He received the nickname Flash Morphy. This BDG Teichmann Retreat 5...Bg4 6.h3 Bh5 provided great entertainment despite a few typical blitz game inaccuracies.

My Blackmar-Diemer Tactics with 500 combinations and mates.

Flash Morphy - Great Carlini, California blitz, 2018 begins 1.d4 Nf6 2.f3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.Nc3 exf3 5.Nxf3 Bg4 6.h3 Bh5 7.g4 Bg6 8.Ne5 e6 9.g5?! [White thought for a few seconds before playing this rare move. Common is 9.Qf3. I recommend 9.Bg2 c6 10.h4 Bb4 11.0-0= which I analyze in my BD Theory 3 book.] 9...Nd5 10.Qf3 c6 [10...Bb4=/+] 11.Bd3 Qc7 12.0-0 Bxd3 13.cxd3 f6? [Better is 13...f5! 14.gxf6 which transposes]

14.gxf6 [Correct was 14.Nxd5! cxd5 15.gxf6 gxf6 16.Qxf6 Qg7+ 17.Bg5 Qxf6 18.Rxf6+-] 14...Nxf6 15.Ne4 Be7 [15...Nbd7=] 16.Nxf6+ Bxf6? [16...gxf6! 17.Qh5+ Kd8 18.Nf7+ Kd7 19.Nxh8 Qg3+ 20.Kh1 Bd6 21.Qxh7+ Kc8 22.Bf4 Bxf4 23.Rxf4 Qxf4 24.Rg1 Qf3+ 25.Kh2 Qf2+ 26.Rg2 Qf4+ 27.Kh1= draws] 17.Qh5+ Ke7 [17...g6 18.Qg4+/-] 18.Qf7+ [18.Rxf6+-] 18...Kd6 [18...Kd8 19.Rxf6 gxf6 20.Qxf6+ leaves White up a bishop.] 19.Nc4+ Kd5 20.Qxc7 Bxd4+ 21.Kg2 Kc5 22.Qa5+ b5 23.Qa3+ Mate next move. 1-0
