Chess Openings: Budapest Gambit

Filed under: Improve Your Chess Game — admin @ 2:54 am


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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. 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?!

  13. 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.
