Pirc Blackburne Hartlaub Gambit

Peter Chaplin won quickly with an unusual gambit. Peter wrote in part: "Hi Tim, I've been destroying people with e4 d6 d4 e5 dxe5 Nc6 but I'm unable to find hardly any published information on this? I have worked out some stunning lines with the computer though. This is a 15 move Checkmate in the e4 d6 d4 e5 line just played this morning!"

Thanks, Peter. Blackmar-Diemer Gambit master Peter Webster won with the same line vs Charles Fiterman in the 1993 US Amateur Team Ch. after 4.Nf3 Bd7 5.exd6 Bxd6 6.Nc3 Qe7 7.Bd3 0-0-0 and 0-1 in 17 moves. Lev Zilbermints reached this position in blitz games from an Englund move order 1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.e4 d6. This gambit is a gamble that may pay off big time. Masters tend to choose 4.exd6 Bxd6 5.Nf3 or 5.Bb5.
