Chess is chess. The little guy always has a chance to beat the master. Even dubious aggressive openings can win brilliantly.
This book has 210 games. The last half are Blackmar-Diemer Gambits. The first half includes other openings - good and bad.
I like short chess wins in any opening. I write about masters and rank amateurs. I use tournament games or online blitz games.
My analysis is entertaining and informative. I criticize bad ideas, but I don't try to find fault with players. We're all deeply flawed.
When I select a game, I run blunder check with a chess engine to note big mistakes. I comment on why the result happened.
I learned chess in 1963 but did not play much until 1970. My first game was published in 1972. My first book published in 1992.
I wrote 3000 chess game blog posts from 2011 to 2019. Games stay on the blog temporarily. Then I remove games to put them in books. Blog games through 2019 are found in these 15 books:
