The Budapest Gambit (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e5) is an aggressive, dynamic
approach for meeting 1 d4 and is a great line for throwing
opponents onto their own resources. It is certainly double-edged as
Black moves the same piece twice early on and also sacrifices a
pawn. This pawn is often quickly regained but one of the great
advantages of the Budapest is that if White tries to hang on to the
pawn (and many players do) Black can quickly whip up a ferocious
attack. A great number of materialistic but unprepared White
players have found themselves swiftly demolished by Black's
tremendously active pieces. When White is more circumspect and
allows Black to regain the pawn, play proceeds along more sedate
strategic lines where Black enjoys free and easy development.
Experienced chess author and coach Andrew Martin examines all key
variations of the Budapest. There is an emphasis on typical
middlegame structures and the important plans and manoeuvres are
demonstrated in numerous instructive games. * Includes complete
repertoires for Black with both 3...Ng4 and 3...Ne4 * Comprehensive
coverage featuring several new ideas * Take your opponents out of
their comfort zone!
