About this opening

The Teichmann Defense (5...Bg4) is regarded as one of the best replies to the accepted Blackmar-Diemer: the bishop pins the f3 knight and immediately challenges White's main attacker, slowing the kingside initiative. Black aims to neutralize the pressure and keep the extra pawn. It is the reference line to calmly refute the gambit through precise development.
