I love playing the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. I lose games but I also win too with smashing victories like the game below:

Normally I play 6.Bg5 here) 6…Be7 7.O-O Nbd7 8.Be3 c6 9.Qd2 O-O 10.Rae1 (Once again the BDG allows me to finish my development well ahead of my opponent) 10…b6 11.Ne5 Bb7 12.Ne4 Nxe4 13.Bxe4 Qc7 14.Qf2 Nf6 15.Bd3 Bd6 16.Qh4 Bxe5 (I beleive this is the point all the books call “the critical position” of the game) 17.Rxf6!!

Here is a nice game I played with the Blackmar Diemer Gambit evolving into a very nice mate with my knights.

Final Position
Once again completed development over comes material deficit.
Its always nice when an opponent falls into a trap cooked up in my kitchen!

The other night at the Emporium, Coach Liulia Cardona was waiting for her private lesson student to show when I offer her a game while she waited. But before we begin, let me state that in the past, Liulia has beaten me so bad, it was if I knew nothing about chess. She is a formidable master of the game and has my complete respect.
