a/ 13...Kxh7 14.Ng5+ Kg6 15.Qg3 improves on my previous post, but black cannot hope for more than equality, eg
a1/ 15...Qa5 16.Ne4+ Kh7 17.Nf6+ gxf6 18.Qh4+ draw
a2/ 15...Ne4 16.Nxe4+ Kh7 17.00 with white advantage
a3/ 15...Re8 16.Nxe6+ Kf6 17.Bg5+ Kxe6 18.Bxd8 Kd7+ 19.Kf1 with complicated play
a4/ 15...Kf6 16.Nh7+ Ke7 17.Qxg7 followed by
a41/ 17...Kd6 18.Bg5 f6 19.Nxf6 with small white advantage
a42/ 17...Ne4 18.00 with white advantage
b/ 13...g6 14.Ng5 Kg7 (forced) 15.00
b1/ 15...f5 16.Qh4 followed by
b11/ 16...Ne2+ 17.Kh1 Nxc1 18.Rf3!! with white advantage
b12/ 16...Rf6 17.Rf3 with white advantage
b13/ 16...Qf6 17.Nxe6+ with white winning
c/ 13...d3 14.Ng5 with a very difficult position
14...f6 All other moves loose quickly 15.00 and black's only chance consists of the odd looking 15...Nd1 16.Rxd1 fxg5 17.Rxd3 Nd7 18.Qc2 with equal game.
d/ 13...Nd7 14.00 with an equal position
e/ 13...Nc6 14.Ng5 f6 15.Qh4 fxg5 16.Qh5 Rf6 17.Bg6+ Kg8 18.Bxg5 with white advantage
There are sure other moves to be considered, such as 13...e5, but I guess you 've got the idea - there are different openings than the Blackmar Diemer that result in aggresive kingside attacks, But then again, they are closely related as they often have the same ideas in common.
Diemer Duhm is a dangerous surprise weapon..... I use it quite a bit. I find that the players who are used to the French Defense are taken out of their known lines , which tend to be solid and left with a king that is put under a lot of pressure. Great article......
