Blackmar-Diemer Tactics Greene

I'm thankful my new book Blackmar-Diemer Tactics is finished. If you love our BDG, this is the book for you. I organized the 500 winning positions into the same variations as my theory books. Blackmar-Diemer Tactics is available on Amazon in ebook and paperback.

Charles Greene approached me at a tournament 15 years ago with the nicest gift. We knew each other by reputation but he was on a mission. Before Greene passed away, he gave me a collection of Opening Adventures magazines from the 1960s. He wanted me to pass them on to someone who would promote the BDG to a future generation. I have followed that directive in writing this blog and publishing many BDG books. I remember USCF Master Charles Greene with this Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Teichmann vs Francisco Guadalupe.

My Ruy Lopez Tactics covers 500 combinations and mates.
