BLACKMAR DIEMER GAMBIT - D00

 

BDG Wikipedia Page - Here

Nice Wikipedia Page on the Main Variations.

 

It is one of the few gambits available to White after 1.d4

 

Main Line

After 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 exf3 5.Nxf3, 

Black has five main options:

Gunderam Defence: 5...Bf5 

Teichmann Defence: 5...Bg4 
Euwe Defence: 5...e6
Bogoljubov Defence: 5...g6 
Ziegler Defence: 5...c6 

also 
Ryder Gambit: 5.Qxf3

 

It is easy for Black to decline the gambit on the second move with 2...e6 (leading to a French Defence) or 2...c6 (leading to a Caro–Kann Defence)
