Overview

Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Zeller Defense, Soller Attack 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.

The line arises from 9 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Bf5 4. f3 Nf6 5. Bc4.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Zeller Defense, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
