About this opening
The Euwe Defense (5...e6) is the soundest reply to the accepted Blackmar-Diemer: Black reinforces the structure and prepares compact development with ...Be7 and ...O-O, denying White targets. The idea is to quietly digest the pawn without exposure to attack. Recommended by world champion Max Euwe, it is a safe road to neutralize the gambit.
