http://melbournegamescoach.blogspot.com/2015/07/guam-international-open-part-two.html
The blog of a Melbourne games coach, covering primarily chess and poker. Monday, 20 July 2015. Guam International Open Part Two. Just past the midway point of the tournament and as expected, the tournament has turned into a race for third, with Grandmasters Laylo and Torre beating up any challengers, while their own game was a hard fought draw, where neither players held any big advantage during the game before finally ending in an opposite coloured bishop endgame. Away from the chess, there was a BBQ St...

http://blackmardiemergambit.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2014. The sacrifice on e4 in the Paleface Pirc. Yesterday I was crushed to death in a Paleface Pirc. The game was played at fast speed, but still, I was sort of humiliated with my opening. read carefully so you dont end up like this! Guido De Bouver - Roel Hamblok ( Antwerpen ). 1d4 c5 2.d5 g6 3.e4 Bg7 4.Nc3 d6 5.Be3 Nf6 6.Qd2 Qa5 7.f3 a6 8.g4 b5 (diagram). White has declared his intentions on the kingside whilst blacks expands on the queenside - a typical idea in the Paleface Pirc.

http://blackmardiemergambit.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Screwed up in a Slav ambush. I partipated in a tournament last weekend. My 5th round opponent knew I played the Blackmar Diemer and was prepared for it, since I had played a Blackmar Diemer against him a year ago or so. So I had the bad idea of playimng something else. 1d4 d5 2.c4. No mother what the grandmasters say : bad choice - 2.e4 is far better/. 3Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e4 b5 6.Qc2. My knowledge of theory had ended here. Better was 6.e5, entering the Geller gambit. Not that ...

http://blackmardiemergambit.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 17, 2015. The Viking-French-Blackmar-Diemer-. attack. I already played my opponent from yesterday evening a year or so ago. At that time, he accepted the f3 pawn and was swept away by a berserk attack. Have you ever seen the series "Vikings"? Well, I looked like Ragnar Lothbrok and England was there to conquer. Yesterday evening, my opponent choose the more cautious path - he initially declined the offered pawn but could not resist lateron. Guido De Bouver - Robert De Hert. The remainde...
