With his second move Black launches an immediate strike on White's centre, sacrificing, at least temporarily, a pawn to do so. In most games where the Budapest is played, White will not cling onto his extra pawn since it ties up his pieces to defense. Instead White usually develops his pieces and hopes to gain a lead in development while Black spends time regaining his pawn. After 3.dxe5 Black must move his knight again. Usually Black plays 3...Ng4 attacking the pawn, but 3...Ne4!? (the Fajarowicz Variation), a true gambit, is also seen. The pawn (♙♟) is the weakest and most numerous piece in the game of chess, representing infantry, or more particularly pikemen. ... Knights possible moves The knight (♘♞) (or, colloquially, horse) is a piece in the game of chess, representing a knight (armoured soldier) and often depicted as a horses head. ... A gambit is a chess opening, where something is sacrificed in order to achieve a better position. ...
The Budapest defense is rarely played in top-level chess, but it is occasionally seen at amateur levels.
Although Budapest was written off by many early in the season for not possessing the talent to win on a regular basis, Tamas proved all the critics wrong and led Budapest to arguably its greatest season.
Budapest has never gotten much publicity and is often written off early in the season only to prove the “experts” wrong over and over again.
By this time it was clear that Budapest was well on its way to its first division title in team history, it was a risky move to trade a centerpiece of the team that achieved this feat but as the playoffs proved it was a risk worth taking.
Defenses with an early...d6 coupled with a king-side fianchetto are also commonly played.
Although Indian defenses were championed in the 1920s by players in the hypermodern school, they were not fully accepted until Soviet players showed in the late 1940s that these systems are sound for Black.
The Modern Benoni Defense is a risky attempt by Black to unbalance the position and gain active piece play at the cost of allowing White a pawn wedge at d5 and a central majority.
