You're right about the lack of discusion on the critical ... c6 lines, but I came away with a different take on Leisebein's site. Naturally, the games are entertaining and Leisebein's ability to conjure up tactics from nowhere impressed me. Then again, because I'm just a club player maybe I'm easily impressed.   And although he doesn't tackle the most critical lines, I think his games show how a BDG player must be tactically creative to be successful with that opening. For BDG aficionados it's a wonderful site.

If you cannot get that link to work try this one;

http://www.schlauweb.de/Blackmar-Diemer

Then scroll down to web links and there you'll find Leisebein's link.

Could you give a link?

Just for the sake of interest, is there still any way to obtain that data?

Yeah I waited somes days and was not sleeping at 6.am to put the better price 5min before the end of the selling, and there is a guy who waited the last 30 seconds to put a better price than me (something like +1 dollar)and I had not time to react, so he won It seems that there is even crazyier fanatics of the BDG than me lol !

The seller of this CD was Tom Purser, with all the "Gambit World" archives included in. I wanted to buy it on e-bay but someone bought it just before me

There is a guy on Ebay that is selling CDs that appear to contain just about all that has ever been written on this Gambit. It also appears to be generating expensive bidding wars.

Try these lines:

1 d4 d5 2 e4 de4 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg5 Bf5 5 Bf6 ef6 6 g4 Bg6
7 Qe2 Bb4 8 Qb5+ Nc6 9 Qxb7 the Zilbermints Attack in the Von Popiel (or Polish) Gambit

I'll post more later.
