Download or read book Blackmar Diemer Gambit and Other Openings written by Tim Sawyer and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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!
Download or read book Blackmar Diemer Theory 3 written by Tim Sawyer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Blackmar-Diemer Theory 3 book provides accurate chess analysis of the Gambit Accepted after 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 exf3. Critical lines are shown as concisely as possible. This book has been arranged according to the 50 variations that you are most likely to see. All the chess analysis and evaluations in this book have been checked with computer chess engines. Is Blackmar-Diemer Gambit sound? That's a loaded question. Statistically White has scored 58% from the official 4.f3 BDG position. That compares favorably to 54% for all openings. On a practical level, it is sound. The author has won 2000 games with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. His performance rating after 4.f3 is 101 rating points higher when he plays the BDG. Your results may vary! Playing a gambit is like being in a horse race. There is always a "rabbit" horse that starts quickly out front. That horse is passed by another moving faster once that winner gets up to speed. The player who accepts the gambit is out front at the first turn. The gambit player has a lead in development and open lines, so he is gaining quickly making threats as he assembles his army. How do you win from behind? You must go fast and hard. Does it work? Often it does. If not, this book can help you start better. The opening is important. If you begin well you can end well. But understand this. The start is just the beginning. What happens next? That is up to the players. The solution is at the finish line. The author Tim Sawyer is well known for chess opening books and his chess analysis. This chess repertoire on the Blackmar-Diemer is one of his favorite chess openings for White. This Blackmar-Diemer series of six chess books has skin, bones, and muscle. Books 1 and 2 verbally describe how the BDG looks and feels in hundreds of annotated games by players from all levels. Those are the outer skin level, what it feels like to play the BDG. Now to the skeleton on which the opening stands. The chess theory Books 3 and 4 cover the theory of BDG. This is book three. It is the bare bones analysis of chess opening theory with a lot of original analysis. There are no player stories, and no explanations about what is going on. What you have is 50 variations of the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit clearly outlined and divided so that you can find any line quickly. The muscle that follows is planned for Books 5 and 6. They show the power of the opening through master games but without any annotations. Some of those games did appear with annotations in my first two books. Many more are planned for Books 5 and 6. Now a word about transpositions. The BDG can be reached by many move orders. Here are the most common paths to 4.f3: 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3. 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.f3 Nf6 4.Nc3. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.f3. 1.d4 Nf6 2.f3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.Nc3. 1.e4 d5 2.d4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3. 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 dxe4 4.f3. Here are BDGs that do not pass through the same 4.f3 position: 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.f3 exf3 5.Nxf3 Nf6 (Ziegler). 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.f3 exf3 5.Nxf3 Nf6 (Euwe). 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Bf5 4.f3 exf3 5.Nf3 Nf6 (Gunderam) In my first Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Keybook I wrote this: "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!" Theoretical analysis brings you into the middle of the boxing ring. Now you can knock out your opponent. The author places White in the best situation possible. Start throwing your punches. It's your move!

Download or read book Blackmar Diemer Tactics written by Tim Sawyer and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Chess Opening Repertoire for Blitz Rapid written by Evgeny Sveshnikov and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing blitz is one of the great joys in every chess player’s life. In modern times, faster time controls have become more important than ever. Every day, innumerable numbers of rated blitz and rapid games are being played in online and over-the-board competitions and championships. In blitz, even more than in ‘classical chess’, it is important to make the right decisions quickly and almost instinctively. That is why world-famous opening expert Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov and his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, have created a chess opening repertoire for club players that is forcing, both narrow and deep, and aggressive. The aim is to be in control as much as possible. You want to be the one who decides which opening is going to be played, you want to dictate the technical and strategic choices. And you want to keep the pressure, increasing your opponent’s chances to stumble. In designing their repertoire, father and son Sveshnikov have made a crucial choice: they do not want you to end up in positions where finding the theoretically best move is all-important, but in positions where it is relatively easy to keep finding the moves with the greatest practical effect and use. If you play the lines the Sveshnikovs have selected, your results will improve. You may even end up playing their variations in ‘slow chess’ as well.
Download or read book Keep it Simple 1 e4 written by Christof Sielecki Christof Sielecki and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is this repertoire called simple? For the simple reason that the variations are straightforward, easy to remember and require little or no maintenance. International Master Christof Sielecki has created a reliable set of lines for chess players of almost all levels. The major objective is to dominate Black in the opening, by simple means. You don’t need to sacrifice anything or memorize long tactical lines. Unless Black plays something stupid, when tactics are the simplest punishment. Sielecki developed this repertoire working with students who were looking for something that was easy to understand and to learn. Most of the lines he selected are occasionally played by grandmasters, but on the whole they lie outside the mainstream of opening theory. That means that there is hardly any need to monitor theoretical developments. Sielecki always clearly explains the plans and counterplans and keeps you focussed on what the position requires. Ambitious players rated 1500 or higher will get great value out of studying this extremely accessible book.
Download or read book Danish Dynamite written by Karsten Müller and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Goes for the Jugular The Danish Gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3, is one of the most aggressive chess openings ever devised. Dynamite was invented by a Swede, Alfred Nobel. The book you are reading now, however, was not written by Nordic players. Instead, Grandmaster Karsten Müller and FIDE Master Martin Voigt bring a touch of German method to the analysis of the explosive group of classical open games where White goes for out- and-out attack based on an early e4, d4 and Bc4, often with c2-c3 to follow. Müller and Voigt do not confine themselves to the Danish Gambit alone but they examine a whole family of related opening variations that share some common characteristics. Most importantly, White is ready to offer some material (a pawn or two, sometimes a piece or more). White goes for the jugular and if Black is not careful he will not even reach the middle game, let alone an endgame...A guiding principle for the authors of this book is that White will play attacking chess, fighting for the initiative at every move. If Black does not meet the challenge in an equally determined way, he will surely lose. This is the epub edition of the popular book published in 2003.

If you're a fan of the BDG, or if you're looking to expand your chess repertoire, or if you're looking to refine your skills, you may enjoy this book. 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 aggressive and tactical play. It is also a good way for White to surprise Black and catch them unprepared. However, the BDG requires a good understanding of chess strategy and a willingness to take risks, as White's pawn structure may be compromised in the opening if Black accepts the gambit. 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.
