Talk:Blackmar-Diemer Gambit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Semantics

It can be argued that it is not truly the BDG until after white plays f3 after (Diemer's) Nc3 and Nf6. The original Blackmar gambit didn't work because of 1 d4 d5 2 e4 dxe4 3 f3 e5!. CjPuffin  00:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, there are many who would say that the same move breaks the BDG! I agree, by the way: 1 d4 d5 2 e4 is not the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit... yet! -- AlexLane 11:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
