I have noticed that when someone really wants to play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, they don't let anything stop them.

Motta,P (2152) - Pasik,R (1917) [C15]
Oregon Open Portland, Ore., 1990

1.d4 d5 2.e4 e6

No way, Jose!

3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Be3 dxe4 5.f3

Wanna bet?

5...Nf6 6.Qd2 Nbd7 7.a3 Bxc3 8.Qxc3 Nd5 9.Qd2 Nxe3 10.Qxe3 exf3 11.Nxf3 0–0 12.Bd3 Nf6 13.Ne5 Qe7 14.0–0 Bd7 15.Qh3 h6 16.Rf3 Bc6 17.Rg3 Kh8 18.Rf1 Rad8

OK, this has gone on long enough. Let's start throwing things around!

19.Rg6! Ng8?

Of course 19...fxg6 allows the knight fork, but 19...Ne4 is a better defense. The text just makes things worse.

20.Rxe6!! Qxe6

What else? The only other square the queen has is g5, when White just starts chomping happily on f7.

21.Qxe6! fxe6 22.Ng6+ Kh7 23.Nxf8+ Kh8 24.Ng6+ Kh7 25.Ne5+1–0

As his choices have dwindled to mate-in-one after 25...Kh8 26.Nf7#, or mate-in-three with 25...g6 26.Rf7+ Kh8 27.Ng6#

The problem is that many of my gambits were not intentional. But maybe I can find something.
