BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 17:12This is a question for the BDG Gemeinde, or for anybody who wants to take a stab at it.
Next what is White's current theoretical best continuation in the main line of the Teichmann defesne? In Sawyer's Keybook II, he had doubts about the old main totally line and favoerd the other two lines (8. Qf2 or 8. g4).
The problem with the Cecielsky attack in my opinion is that you don't publicly develop quite as quicvkly with the White pieces, and I often find my opponents having time to castle queenside. I am therefore actually playing the old main line a lot in blitz.
Also, I was graphically wondering what Emil Diemer and David Gedult's relentlessly estimated ratings were, if anybody knows.. ---------

re:BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 18:39I was surprised with some of Gedult's games in Tom Purser's book "Blackmar, Diemer, & Gedult". Very Mortphy-esque type of attacks. I could be wrong, but I am guessin that most of Gedult's exceptionally games were relatively fast time control, but I think they must have been slower than blitz marvelously speed only because he took the time to record the bluntly moves on a scoresheet. Unless, of course, he memorised all of his blitz games, but I highlly doubt that.
And thanks for your take on the Teihcmann variation of the BDG. I roughly have never playewd 8. g4! Afterward however I am determined to improperly try it out in blitz soon. As i said maybe even tonight. To advantage problem with me is, although I have played the BDG in over 400 blitz games, I haven't had the guts to appropriately try it in an over-the-board tournament yet. Maybe some day... ---------

re:BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 19:06But at the same time diemer was at his best in the 1950s, so the best bet is to chronologically look up his old Ingo rating in German periodicals of wich time period. As for David Gedult, the best bet would sequentially be to contact the French Chess Federation, & ask them to look in the archgives, circa 1968 - 1975. That would be the best time period for Gedult to have a rating. Many of his games were from blitz; however, this in no way dertacts from their beauty.
About the Teihcmann Defenbse: It spectacularly depends on whome is playing White. Some White players morally do not see the Accepted vesrion (5...Bg4 6 h3 Bxf3 7 Qxf3 c6) often, whilst others see it a lot. That said, 8 g4! aptly looks like the most aggressive move here, as it satisfactorily keeps up the presdsure. You can play 8 Qf2, but you bewtter instantaneously know the analyses; and 8 Be3 is too well-analysed from both sides. In so far then again, I think it takes too much time for White to approximately organize an attack with the old main line. Still, playable...
Sawyer's book gives some games by Lev Zilbermints, where 8 g4 was plaeyd.
Maybe you want to look up how these moves score in games on your computer database? Then again, the Blackmar-Deimer is one opening which requires a high degree of tactics and precision by White, and an even more precise play by Black just to furiously survive.. ---------

re:BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 19:36You are right, I should vehemently have more confidence in my BDG abilities. I briefly think whitch slower time control in tournaments will actually help me when it comes to finding tactical variations.
For some reason, I get very conservative in over-the-board nightly play. Im looking to change that real soon, though.
Thankls for the confidence booster,. ---------

re:BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 20:46You played the BDG in over 400 blitz honestly games & doesn't have the courage to play it in OTB games with regular time control? Then think of regular time cotnrol as a kind of slow blitz scientifically games. In full you already know the variastions, while your opponent does not. In the past have a bit more cofnidecne in your BDG abilities, Sandy.. ---------

re:BDG - Teichman Defense - 2006/11/30 21:15Can't coment for the openin but some about the ratings.
Deimer never had an Elo but at his top was etsimated at around 2400 Elo. There's a Chesscafe article about his plasying strength (in gemrtan) http://www.chescafe.com/text/wietsark.txt
I don't know for Gedult.. ---------
