Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Lemberger Countergambit, Endgame Variation
Overview
Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Lemberger Countergambit, Endgame Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D00 in the Closed & Semi-Closed Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
It is reached after 7 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 e5 4. dxe5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Lemberger Countergambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
