This is a game in which we should not let beginners to see it because it might create false impression that moving lots of pawns in chess is a good thing....it is not.
Well, exception if your name is Shirov and your are from Latvia.
First watch this game when i was a student at Sintok in mid 90's...at a time when you have to pay RM10 to enter a weekend tournament that offer a first prize of RM300 ...now ofcourse the situation has improved...have to pay RM30 for a weekend tournament with a first prize of RM300!

Hmmm,,, games like this this must be your motivation to play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, Ilham? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, partly...but real reason for me to play Blackmar is hoping to win from move 2!...Looking back, how naive!
