The opening is characterized by an early pawn sacrifice by White in order to gain rapid piece development and open lines for an attack. White offers a pawn on e4, which Black captures, and then White plays f3 to regain the pawn. Black responds with Nf6, and after the pawn exchange on f3, Black develops their light-squared bishop to g4, pinning White's knight to the queen.

This defense, named after the German chess master Richard Teichmann, aims to counter White's aggressive intentions by quickly developing Black's pieces and creating counterplay. The pin on the knight can be uncomfortable for White, as it prevents them from easily castling kingside and may force them to spend additional moves to break the pin.

White's main idea in this opening is to use their lead in development and open lines to launch a quick attack on Black's king. However, Black has several defensive resources and can often find counterplay against White's center and kingside.

Both sides need to be well-prepared in this opening, as a single mistake can lead to a quick defeat. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Accepted: Teichmann Defense is an exciting and challenging opening for players who enjoy sharp tactical battles and are not afraid to take risks.
