Secrets of Opening Surprises

Nov-09-03    philidor231: Can I find the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit in here? Nov-09-03    Chessical: It is classified at D00 You can find Diemer playing his gambit at E J Diemer vs K Burger, 1948 Dec-16-04    Brian1: All your list of practitioners as Black against the Staunton Gambit( Jaffe, Mieses and Chigorin) have a negative score in the games you give, what is the point of that ? It does not recommend them as experts against the Staunton! Jan-04-05    AgentRgent: <Brian1> The list of Practitioners is based on who played the opening the MOST, not who played it the BEST. Jan-04-05    Poisonpawns: Juan Dominguez vs Vallejo-Pons, 2001 This is my gift to all Dutch players who have trouble with the old staunton gambit.Study this game well and you will be cured. Nov-19-05    aw1988: Computers are really stupid. Here's one I just played in 20 20 (White): 1. d4 f5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Nc6 5. Qd2 d5 6. O-O-O h6 7. Bf4 g5 8. Bg3 Bg7 9. f3 Bf5 10. h4 Nh5 11. Bf2 exf3 12. Nxf3 g4 13. Ne5 Bxe5 14. dxe5 e6 15. Nb5 Nxe5 16. Bd4 Bxc2 17. Qxc2 O-O 18. Bxe5 Rxf1 19. Rhxf1 Qd7 20. Qg6+ Ng7 21. Qxh6 Nf5 22. Qh8+ Kf7 23. Rxf5+ exf5 24. Qg7+ Ke8 25. Qg8+ Ke7 26. Qxa8 Qxb5 27. Bf6+ Kxf6 28. Qd8+ Ke6 29. Qg8+ Ke5 30. Qg7+ Kf4 31. Qd4+ Kg3 32. Qe3+ Kxg2 33. Rg1+ Kh2 34. Qg3# 1-0 Mar-18-08    littlefermat: I played this a couple times with white, hoping to find some sort of nice reply to the Dutch. I always found this gambit to be of mixed value. The main line Dutch of 1 d4 f5 2. g3, etc. with white having the idea of fianchettoing the bishop at g2 seems to be most reasonable. Jul-13-09    WhiteRook48: bah 2 Bg5 is preferable Nov-16-09    Chessorpain: <WhiteRook48> Why do you say that? 2. Bg5 is an ok move but I wouldn't call it the best.
