The Blackmar-Diemer gambit

Summary:

The Blackmar-Diemer gambit is very rare and occurs in less than 1 in 1000 games. From the data, you can expect that White will have a very high 57.43% chance of winning, while Black should only have a 42.57% chance of winning. Because of the fact that most players probably have never seen this opening, and that Black has such a low expected chance of winning, it may be well worth it to keep this variation in your back pocket. Since as White, you should have a significant edge and will probably catch your opponent off guard.
