Chess Openings: Budapest Gambit

For those players that love chess gambits, the budapest gambit is a must for your toolbox. From early on, black takes white out of normal book lines for common openings and forces them into unfamiliar territory for many. White has to always look out for traps that black can throw at him. www.thechesswebsite.com Chess Software used in the video can be found at http and www.chessok.com

nice so far your videos are great
just beat my dad
I’ve tried this defense a few times but I find that it leads to boring play in the first line you showed, which seemed to be the most common line I’ve encountered with it.
Thanks por the video.
Thank you =)
Nice video again.Thanks!
great video as always!
looking at the variation where he pushes down making the knight move several times (@5:55), wont that be bad for black?!
possibly. At the moment white doesn’t have a lot of developed minor pieces so he pawns are undefended. If black develops correctly he can undermine the overextended white pawns later on. He definitely has to be careful though.
I seem to keep forgetting how to play this gambit
is there a budapest declined line?
rare but you may see like e3 declining
@10vaan good question
Just a question, with the nice little diagram at 9:19, wouldn’t white’s bishop on e2 simply take the black knight if it tried to move to g4 or f3? Even with the queen at h4, whites queen is backing its bishop up.
Loving these videos, I’m looking forward to giving the budapest a go on my next game!
In 8:33 what happens if white plays queen d5?
That would frustrate the plan to bring the rook to a6 to try to pass it to the other side i think.
How you continue after 1:45?
I see black can try to put more pressure with queen en e7 but white can defend the pawn by putting the queen in d5.
Is this what im saying is correct or black has better line?
Great videos by the way. It helps a lot.
Hey when i move my queen to e7 white moves queen to d5. what do i do?
That seems like my style of chess…
coordination of the peices for an aggressive attack that could be all-or-nothing
the budapest rook is also very intresting……. if i can find a more in “depth” declined variation for the budapest, i just may have an opening repretoire against D4 XD lolz
3:15 is not checkmate? there is nothing protecting the knight… the queen is on the E file not the D file.
@lbjwannabe The knight doesn’t need to be protected. The pawn can’t capture because the queen has it pinned on that E file.
ur vids are the best!
at 3:42 why not Bxe5 dxe5 xb4?
beautiful
@lbjwannabe The queen is on the D file, that is checkmate.
@acoustiMatt i know i caught that just after i said it. but thank you very much for the response. =)
