Blackmar-Diemer Euwe Cavicchi

Francesco Cavicchi sent me this short win with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit during the Christmas holiday.
Cavicchi added, "Who said Xmas is not a good time to kill the Euwe defense?"
In the end, White receives a precious gift on a8, leaving White ahead by a full queen.

For 6 gambits, see my Quick Chess Lesson collection Chess Gambits for Black.
