Blackmar-Diemer Gambit 9.Qf3

Thom2 Christensen defeated Farid Mustafayev in the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. Black played 5…Bg4 6.h3 Bh5 – the Teichmann Retreat Variation. One of the pleasures of the BDG is the kingside attack. Black misplaces the defense for a quick White victory.

Here is a book with 42 annotated BDG games I played in 2021. Hope you like them.
