Mike Serovey Loses To David Buckley

This is yet another old correspondence chess game from 1996. In this one I lost to a 1909 rated player with the White side of a Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. This game is a perfect example of how not to play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. The entire fiasco, complete with analysis and diagrams, can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/DavidBuckley-Blackmar-Diemer-Gambit.html. Here is the game in PGN
