5.0 out of 5 stars Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, 1 April 2003
I was looking for something new for openings, Eveyone else is playing the French and Sicillian. A friend of mine reccomened this book and I have not looked back since. It is simply packed with every possible variation imaginable.

I love the book!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Somehow deceiving, 28 Jan 2004
By Guido De Bouver (Grimbergen Belgium) - See all my reviews
The book is good as it provides a thorough overview of the gambit. However, the gambit is quite complicated and requires a deep knowledge of the theory involved. You might find it frustrating that your opponent does not play your pet line - which you studied so well - but chooses a line that is not described, or - more likely - which you did not study/remember.

So the book might be more directed towards the multiple devotees of the opening ( who want to spend an important amount of time studying the opening ) then for "regular" chess players - for which the opening theory probably seems overwhelming.

That being said, Blackmar Diemer devotees will most probably know the vast majority of the material ( as they are devotees ), so the usage of this book may be also limited to this group - apart from being a collection icon.
