About this opening
The Ryder Gambit (5.Qxf3) recaptures the pawn with the queen rather than the knight, often sacrificing a second pawn on d4 for even faster development and a furious attack. It is the most extreme and speculative form of the Blackmar-Diemer: the compensation is dubious against accurate defense, but the attacking potential is fearsome in practical play and blitz.
