A collection of BDG games played by master players – by Sveinung Økland.

Update 25.05.2010 : I have now also made a Diemer Collection (containing 67 games so far) in addition to the Master BDG database (which contains 500 master games).

Here are some statistics from the Master BDG games :

	White wins	Draw	Black wins
Black player is GM	24	16	33
Black player is IM or WGM	20	12	27
Black player is FM	15	9	6
White player is GM	17	4	5
White player is IM	30	4	8
White player is FM	31	15	10
Both players are GM’s	7	3	4
Both players are IM’s	6	1	6
Both players are FM’s	2	1	2
Total score for all games in the database	275	112	113

NB! If you know about a BDG game which isn’t in the database already you are welcome to send it in a mail to sveinung@optimal-sikkerhet.no , but please remember the criteria for a game to be a part of this database :

1) The opening should be Blackmar-Diemer Gambit

2) One or both of the players should be a GM, IM, FM, CM, WGM, WIM, WFM, WCM – or both players should at least have ratings above 2000

3) The game should preferably have been played in an official tournament
