The Blackmar–Diemer Gambit arose as a development of the earlier Blackmar Gambit, named after Armand Blackmar, a relatively little-known New Orleans player of the late 19th century who popularized its characteristic moves (1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.f3) and was the first player to publish analysis of the opening.

The Queen's Gambit is the chess opening that starts with the moves: [1]. 1. d4 d5 2. c4. It is one of the oldest openings and is still commonly played today. It is traditionally described as a gambit because White appears to sacrifice the c-pawn; however, this could be considered a misnomer as Black cannot retain the pawn without incurring a disadvantage.

A Closed Game (or Double Queen's Pawn Opening) is a chess opening that begins with the moves: . 1. d4 d5. The move 1.d4 offers the same benefits to development and center control as does 1.e4, but unlike with the king's pawn openings where the e4-pawn is undefended after the first move, the d4-pawn is protected by White's queen.
The Danvers Opening hinders this by forcing Black (unless they want to sacrifice a pawn) to first defend the e-pawn (usually with 2...Nc6), then 3.Bc4 forces Black to make some compromise to defend against the mate threat; 3...g6 commits Black to fianchettoing the king bishop, 3...Qe7 blocks the bishop, and 3...Qf6 occupies knight's best square.
