'tis. My opening repertoire is pretty limited, but it looks like this gambit would lead to a lively game. Apparently it's a little unsound so it's not played much if at all at the top levels, but it's fairly popular amongst club players:

Here is a useful tip for anyone wanting to avoid it - black can play e6 and the game has become a french defence.

5. Qxf3 is the even sharper, less sound and more fun Ryder gambit, which was Diemer's original choice.

Interesting guy, Diemer. Never a great chess player, but always interesting. Check out this piece of wreckless aggression. I believe he was 75 when he played this...

He played like that and only had a grade of 75!!!....Wow!

Blackmar used to be, and still is I suppose, my only answer to the Scamdinavian (sic).

1.e4 d5 2.d4...etc.

Diemer-Duhm gambit. Not very sound, but then if black insists on playing a French it's better than being bored to death. I'd go for an exchange variation myself.

Back on the subject of the Blackmar-Diemer, I heard a great quote once that it's the fastest way to 2000 from either direction.

he really is a very interesting character, ex National socialist, gave up chess to focus on Nostradamus prophetic utterances, incarcerated in asylum, saved by a fan, officially reinstated in chess circles, its the stuff movies are made from!

no chicks my friend! this is not Hollywood, we do not suck dudes into the cinema with the lure of breasts! did searching for Bobby Fischer need a chick? nope, all it need was a personality! perhaps a cameo role for Mrs Kostineuk as an asylum matron, but no one else!

what's wrong with breasts? From a personal point of view, I appreciate their presence in any kind of art work. I mean a chess movie is nice, but chess movie with breasts would be just perfect.

there is naturally nothing wrong with them, they are in fact perfectly formed and have amazing aesthetic appeal, depending of course on what they are attached to, however such is their power and potency they may detract from the main theme, that being the rather amazing life story of Diemer. I can appreciate the appeal to artistry, but i hark back to more austere times, when gentlemen went to the club and ladies swanned around drawing rooms in modest dresses, not 'cutty sarks', and necklines which plunge beyond the knee! I am quite sure this would have Diemlers approval as well!
