Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Arslanov

Shamil Arslanov outplays Olexandr Shevchuk with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. Black chose the flexible 5…Nbd7 variation that Shocron (a famous Bobby Fischer opponent) played against me in the final round of a tournament I won. He accused me of playing coffee house chess. It’s always fun to checkmate a master in tournament play. Below, Arslanov demonstrated a strong attack against an uncastled king.
