anyone know of any books?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=blumenfeld+gambit+books

try google

attack by black is a repertoire book which features it.

I really enjoy playing it, but i very rarely actually reached it.

This is a good opening to play against junior players because they only
study main line opening theory like the Benko Gambit. Listed below is
a game I won against 13 year old Jordy Mont Reynaud at Hawaii International 3 with my Blumenfeld Counter Gambit. At that time Jordy was the youngest player to make master. See game below

suspected Jordy had never seen this opening .]} 5. dxe6 fxe6 6. Nf3 {[White has to be very carefull in this opening. He has to try to stop Black's pawn mass from rolling. He has to contest the e5 square or push e4.]} Bb7 7. e3 {[7. Bf4 or 7.Nc3 were better since both attempt to contest the e4 & e5 squares .]} d5 8. Bd2 Bd6 9. a4 O-O 10.

21...Rh6 and 21...Bc1 were not good. After 21...Rh6 22.Nf5 wins at least a R and after 21...Bc1 22.Nc6 gives Black some problems. 20...Ref8 is excellent because it covers the f5 square puts pressure on the f3 square.]} 21. Nb3 Nxb3 22. Rxb3 Rh6 {[I was preparing for the R sac on h2 with double check with Nf3.] } 23. g3 d4 $1 {[The winning move since it brings the B at b7 into play.]} 24. Qxd4 $2 Qe6 25. f4 exf3 26. Bxf3 Bxf3 27.

d7 squares preventing White's R from penetrating into Black's position.White resigned here since there was no counter play.]} 0-1

This gambit was made famous by the Tarrasch - Alekhine game of 1922.
It took a year before the other top players in the world could find an
adequate reply to this gambit. See game below:

In both of the above games White allowed Black to play the e pawn to
e4 which gave Black an attacking advantage.

Listed below are 2 of my more recent games with the Blumenfeld
Counter Gambit. See games below:

I was trying to find more information on the inventor of the Blumenfeld Counter Gambit and I saw the link below. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Blumenfeld

Benjamin Blumenfeld (24 May 1884, Volkovysk – 5 March 1947, Moscow) was a Russian chess master. 

He was born in Volkovysk, Russian Empire (today Vawkavysk, Belarus). In 1905/06 he tied for second/third with Akiba Rubinstein, behind Gersz Salwe, in St. Petersburg (the fourth Russian championship). In 1907 he tied for second/third with Georg Marco, behind Mikhail Chigorin, in Moscow.

In 1920 he took eighth in Moscow (Russian Chess Olympiad, 1st URS-ch). The event was won by Alexander Alekhine. In 1925 he tied for second/third with Boris Verlinsky, behind Aleksandr Sergeyev, in the Moscow championship.

He invented the Blumenfeld Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nf3 b5).

However I could not find any of Benjamin Blumenfelds games with this gambit.
