If you like short, fast-paced chess gambit wins for White, this may be the book for you. These games involve normal online chess players who are not masters. I, Tim Sawyer, played chess for 50 years and wrote 100 chess books. This Blackmar-Diemer Gambit book has 50 games my son Travis Sawyer played in late 2022. He found lots of mates. This book is purely for entertainment value. All the players in this book were rated below 1600 at that time. Games are mostly blitz with some bullet and rapid games included. Travis told me that he had at least 50 chess games with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit that he won in 20 moves or less. He was right! I selected 50 games he played in late 2022. Six games are slightly longer than 20 moves. I enjoy them. I didn't need to check out more of his earlier games. My analysis is objective without being overly critical. I refer to the player with White as "Travis," so I don't confuse him with games in many other books where I play as "Sawyer." All players blunder in blitz. Opening theory and endgame knowledge help your play, but tactics win most games. If you want better games, see my previous Chess Strategy Blackmar-Diemer Gambit books or my older BDG books. A chess player friend of mine told me that his intermediate opponents never play the main lines of popular openings. That gave me an idea for this series of books on "How to Beat Intermediate Chess Players" in a variety of openings. I assume that you can read algebraic chess notation. The diagrams have White at the bottom of the board. Thank you for reading my books. I hope you enjoy this one!

Blackmar Diemer Tactics written by Tim Sawyer and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-11-24 with categories.

The Blackmar-Diemer Tactics book gives you 500 positions from games that use combinations and checkmates in this gambit. Blackmar-Diemer Tactics teaches you to fight for a win. It best resembles hand to hand combat in chess. Attacks come quickly. This book shows 500 winning positions played up through 2020. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (BDG) will make you a dangerous player to face. White begins 1.d4 d5 like a Queen's Gambit, but (instead of 2.c4), the BDG attacks with 2.e4. After Black captures 2...dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 reaches the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. What if 1.d4 Nf6? Then White plays 2.Nc3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.f3 and again you get a BDG. Also 2.f3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.Nc3 transposes. If you're good at tactics, you're good at chess. Opening theory may help you start well. Endgame knowledge may help you finish well. Tactical skill helps you win games and avoid losses. Tactics include pins, forks, removing the defender, attacking two pieces at the same time, and threatening to mate your opponent. The easiest path to tactical success is to recognize patterns that occur frequently in your favorite chess openings. Grandmasters know tactics and can slide from one opening to another. We all know a few positions. Here are 500 Blackmar-Diemer Gambits. Tactical knowledge helps you to improve your winning chances. Take your opponent's pieces. Pick off the pawns. Mate the king! Don't rely on dumb luck. How can "dumb luck" allow you to win? You can win a few games when your opponent makes dumb moves. That's when your opponent gives up a piece for nothing. You're lucky when your opponent fails to defend a mate in one. To advance, you need more than dumb luck. You need tactics. Tim Sawyer studied the BDG to win as Black 40 years ago. Tim discovered that it was not easy to defend. Finally, he decided to play it as White! As a result he won tournaments while his postal chess rating and blitz ratings shot up above 2200. Try it yourself! The purpose of this book is to illustrate Blackmar-Diemer Gambit tactics. I assume you can read algebraic chess notation. The White pieces are positioned at the bottom of each diagram. Above each diagram note who can move and win. It's either White to play a tactical move or Black to play a tactical move. Some moves are simple and easy. Others are subtle and tricky. That's chess - lots of obvious moves and lots of sneaky moves. Look at each diagram. It's a key position ready for a tactical win. The final moves are in bold with a brief analysis or comment. Chess engines were used to ensure the accuracy of analysis. Follow the moves in your mind. The skill to visualize each new position without moving pieces improves your tactical strength. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit allows you to develop rapidly and attack your opponent's pieces and king. This helps you discover strong moves after 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 with a brief comment. White wins 75% of the games in this book. The other 25% show what to try as Black or what to watch out for and avoid as White. Review the Table of Contents. This helps you understand the opening as a whole. Each part of the book builds from the less popular lines to the more popular lines. The BDG Accepted is games 1-300 beginning with the tricky 5.Qxf3 and graduating to the more reliable 5.Nxf3. The BDG Declined is games 301-500. The book has BDG Accepted lines in A1.0 - A5.9 and BDG Declined lines in D1.0 - D5.9. BDG games in ECO (Encyclopedia of Chess Openings) usually appear in D00 (1.d4 d4 2.e4 dxe4) and maybe A45, B15 or C11. The ideas in this book come from the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, but these same tactical patterns work in other chess openings.Improve your chess. Go for the win! Get Blackmar-Diemer Tactics now.

Welcome to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Declined and Avoided! Tim Sawyer analyzes 225 games. This includes his new BDG classification, updated commentary, and an Index of Names to Games. The author tells stories and explains opening strategy. This book contains Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Avoided lines after 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 such as: Blackmar Gambit 3.f3, 3.Nc3 lines without 3...Nf6, Poehlmann 3.Nc3 f5, and Lemberger 3.Nc3 e5. The BDG Declined lines 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 (without 4...exf3) include Caro-Kann O'Kelly 4.f3 c6, Vienna Defence 4.f3 Bf5 and others. The final chapter has 1.d4 Nf6 BDG Avoided lines such as the Sawyer Variation 2.f3 d5 3.e4 e6 4.Bg5 and the Huebsch Gambit after 2.Nc3 d5 3.e4 Nxe4 4.Nxe4 dxe4. This is the second of the four Blackmar-Diemer Gambit volumes planned for 2016. These four books are intended to replace the old BDG Keybook. Blackmar-Diemer Games 2 covers the gambit declined in five chapters each with 10 sections. Several new games were added here. Some 1.d4 Nf6 games (without 2...d5) were moved to the author's Indian Defences 1.d4 Nf6 book. The games of Tartakower, Sawyer, Zilbermints, Quinones, and many more players provide creative ideas. They demonstrate how to win bold chess attacks with energy and success. We see many quick White wins and quick Black wins due to a variety of mistakes. Short victories are common in the Blackmar-Diemer. Have fun playing chess. Try it! I quote: "The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is not a boxing jab; it is a knockout punch. White gets to throw the first punch! Stop playing for the endgame; start playing to end the game! Be a winner. Play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit!" [BDG Keybook from 1992]

You may find this book helpful if you want a guide to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and selected other chess openings. With a collection of exciting chess games featuring the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and other chess openings, you'll be able to see these strategies in action and learn how to use them in your own games effectively. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (BDG) is a chess opening that starts with the moves 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3. White offers a pawn in exchange for a better position. The idea behind the BDG is to seize control of the center of the board and put pressure on Black's position. The BDG can lead to sharp tactics. While the BDG is not a popular opening at the highest levels of chess, it is a good choice for players who enjoy the aggressive and tactical play. It is also good for White to surprise Black and catch them unprepared. However, the BDG requires a good understanding of chess strategy and willingness to take risks, as White's pawn structure may be compromised in the opening if Black accepts the gambit. My analysis seeks to be informative and entertaining. I may criticize moves, but I try not to criticize the players. I hope to help you to understand the thought processes behind certain moves. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your chess repertoire or an experienced player looking to refine your skills, this book has something for you. The games in this book were played in 2021 or 2022. I did not play most of these games. The book has no diagrams. I played chess for 50 years. I have written over 100 books. I assume that you can read algebraic chess notation. The diagrams have White at the bottom of the board. Thank you for reading my books. I hope you enjoy this one!

A Complete Fighting Repertoire against 1.d4! Do you like active piece play? Fighting for the initiative from move one? The Tarrasch Defense just may be what you are looking for. Its advantages include: (1) It can be played against pretty much anything: 1.Nf3, 1.c4, 1.g3, 1.d4. Play 1...e6, 2...d5 and 3...c5 and you are there! (2) It leads most of the time to a typical IQP pawn structure, and it is difficult for White to change the course of the opening. (3) Black’s pieces naturally enjoy open lines and active posts so it’s easy to play the opening moves quickly and successfully! This book is exceptional! Tarrasch exponents have been blessed in the past years with some excellent works, and this book continues this happy trend. It is both a detailed reference manual and a source of inspiration. For example, in the main line 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.g3 Nf6 7.Bg2 Be7 8.0-0 0-0 9.dxc5, I was intrigued to see such interesting analysis of the unusual gambit line 9...d4 as well as the main line 9...Bxc5. I was also very impressed by the work that Vassilios put into the awkward sidelines such as 3.Nf3 c5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5, discovering a wealth of active possibilities in quiet-looking positions. I am certain that this book will become an essential tool both for experienced Tarrasch players and future aficionados! – Grandmaster Matthew Sadler in his Foreword Greek grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias is well-known for his excellent analytical work and writing style which presents the material in a way that is comprehensive and easy to understand. In this book – his first for Russell Enterprises – he offers a thorough system for Black against 1.d4. That includes responses to other systems such as the Colle, Trompowsky, London, etc. So, are you ready to stake your claim as Black, fighting from the first move? The Tarrasch may be just what you are looking for!

Here's 500 in the Semi-Open Defenses. Other openings after 1.e4 with 1...e5, 1...c5. 1...e6, or 1...c6 are covered in my other Tactics books. Tactical knowledge helps you to improve your winning chances. Take your opponent's pieces. Pick off the pawns. Mate the king! Don't rely on dumb luck. How can "dumb luck" allow you to win? You can win a few games when your opponent makes dumb moves. That's when your opponent gives up a piece for nothing. You're lucky when your opponent fails to defend a mate in one. To advance, you need more than dumb luck. You need tactics. I played Semi-Open Defenses thousands of times in my career. I enjoy unbalanced positions to fight for a winning advantage. As White, I want to checkmate quickly or win material. Fun times! The purpose of this book is to illustrate and teach the Semi-Open Tactics. I assume you can read algebraic chess notation. The White pieces are positioned at the bottom of each diagram. Above each diagram note who can move and win. It's either White to play a tactical move or Black to play a tactical move. Some moves are simple and easy. Others are subtle and tricky. That's chess - lots of obvious moves and lots of sneaky moves. Look at each diagram. It's a key position ready for a tactical win.

For 2.exd5 Nf6 3.Nc3 see 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.exd5. For 1.e4 d5 2.d4 Nc6 see 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d5. If 1.e4 d5 2.d4 c6 see my Caro-Kann Tactics book. For 1.e4 d5 2.d4 e6 see my French Tactics. If 1.e4 d5 2.d4 dxe4 see Blackmar-Diemer Tactics (next book). The 500 winning tactical positions in this book come from chess games followed by a short line of analysis or a brief comment. Players may sacrifice a pawn, a piece, or the Exchange to speed up the attack. You make life more difficult for all your opponents when you think tactically about how to attack their weak points. Games are arranged by ECO (Encyclopedia of Chess Openings) coding (B00 to B09) from less popular to more popular moves.ECO updates their 500 codes. A few variations move from one code to another to account for changes in popularity. I try to be consistent with my Chess Training Repertoire Moves 4 book. Ideas in this book come from the Semi-Open Defences, but note: These same tactical patterns work in other chess openings too. Many champions play the Semi-Open Defences from both sides.
