Chess Strategy 1.d4 d5 2.e4 Travis

If you like short, fast-paced chess gambit wins for White, this may be the book for you. These games involve normal online chess players who are not masters. I, Tim Sawyer, played chess for 50 years and wrote 100 chess books.
This Blackmar-Diemer Gambit book has 50 games my son Travis Sawyer played in late 2022. He found lots of mates. This book is purely for entertainment value. All the players in this book were rated below 1600 at that time. Games are mostly blitz with some bullet and rapid games included.
Travis told me that he had at least 50 chess games with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit that he won in 20 moves or less. He was right! I selected 50 games he played in late 2022. Six games are slightly longer than 20 moves. I enjoy them. I didn't need to check out more of his earlier games.
My analysis is objective without being overly critical. I refer to the player with White as "Travis," so I don't confuse him with games in many other books where I play as "Sawyer."
All players blunder in blitz. Opening theory and endgame knowledge help your play, but tactics win most games. If you want better games, see my previous Chess Strategy Blackmar-Diemer Gambit books or my older BDG books.
A chess player friend of mine told me that his intermediate opponents never play the main lines of popular openings. That gave me an idea for this series of books on "How to Beat Intermediate Chess Players" in a variety of openings.
I assume that you can read algebraic chess notation. The diagrams have White at the bottom of the board. Thank you for reading my books. I hope you enjoy this one!
