1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 c5

D00
Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Declined
9 named lines in this family, ECO D00. Every one of them opens 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4, so the notes on those moves are written once, just below, instead of once per line. Under each line you get its moves and the sentences it adds that this page has not already printed. A line's own page carries up to its first 4 per-move notes in full.
The moves every line here plays
1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4
- 1. d4 Stakes a claim in the centre, controlling e5, and frees the bishop and queen.
- 1... d5 Stakes a claim in the centre, controlling e4, and frees the bishop and queen.
- 2. e4 Stakes a claim in the centre, controlling d5, and frees the bishop and queen. The pawn is genuinely on offer - this is the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: development and initiative over material.
- 2... dxe4 Takes the pawn on e4, toward the centre and opens the d-file for the queen.
