After 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.f3 black should play 3...e5! with better play

After 1. d4 d5 2. e4 White normally starts crying if Black plays 2. ... e6.

Have you witnessed this personally?😲

I would say so.
White can play 3.Nc3 (instead of 3.f3), which is better, but anyway after 3....e5! or even 3...Nf6 black haven`t enough compensation for equality.

The Blackmar- diemer gambit. It probably borders on being unsound since GMs rarely play it, but it has good surprise value and cunning tactics.

I wound up crying in my first encounter against it.
Game 2473127

Then I found a defense to make me smile, converting the blackmar into the Hubsch gambit.

aren't you supposed to do this to the other side of the board with:
1. e4 e5
2. d4 exd4
3. c3 dxc3
4. Bc4 cxb2
5. Bxb2
that's how i thought it was supposed to go...
of course there is no way on earth that black can stand a chance holding on to both pawns in this line...
it's just impossible...

I think Wormwood uses it quite a bit - I much prefer the KG.

I meant that after 3...e5 and 3...Nf6 its white who haven`t enough compensation for the pawn.
