Tegernsee Round One

PLAYED this afternoon.

Spanton (1912) - Heidi Oswald-Meister (1308)
Senioren Cup
Blackmar-Diemer Gambit
1.d4 d5 2.e4 e5?
Position after 2...e5?
There are 21 examples of this move in ChessBase's 2022 Mega database, but it is just bad. At least one of the games is nonsense - it supposedly continued 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.Bc4?? Nf6?? 0-1.
3.dxe5 dxe4!?
This is the top choice of Stockfish14.1 and Komodo12.1.1, at least for a while, which only goes to show how poor Black's last move was.
4.Qxd8+ Kxd8 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Bg5+ f6 7.0-0-0+ Bd7 8.exf6 Nxf6 9.Nxe4
Also strong is 9.Nd5, but the text is simplest and probably best.
9...Rf8 10.Nf3 Kc8!?
Breaking the pins like this is the engines' top choice.
11.Nxf6 gxf6 12.Bh6 Re8 13.Bd3 Nc6 14.c3 Bf8? 15.Bxf8 Rxf8 16.Bxh7 (1-0, 34 moves)
