Players who enjoy the cut-and-slash of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) should be thrilled by the attacking possibility of a real gambit that has much more of a chance for success, and whose "refutations" are constantly being deconstructed, if not refuted – the Blackmar Diemer Gambit, 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3. Tom Purser, BDG fan and guru – past editor of the Blackmar Diemer World magazine, and author of several BDG (and one Elephant Gambit) books – has his own blog these days, "Tom's BDG Pages," at http://bdgpages.blogspot.com/.
The blog includes games and analysis, but also warmly showcases the personality of the opening and those who have played it.
