@@StephenWhite55 Totally. I got the opportunity to place that variation on a classical game during a tournament this year, with a quick win. There was that famous Nxf3 sacrifice, and resignation in the middlegame after huge material lose to avoid checkmate. There is still some natural lines that need depth prep because the ...f6 move is really dubious if the opponent choose some paths, but really fun to play.

You could also call this the foie gras gambit or the goose gambit since you're force feeding your opponent the F pawn and a lot of foie gras (literally:fattened goose liver) is produced in Hungary (in which country Budapest is found)

Name suggested: Orca tail. Move f6 creates a structure of pieces (with e5 pawn, f4 Bishop and the two side by side Knights) that reminds of the black and white tail of an orca whale emerging from the water which is the black pawns position.

Thanks so much!!! According to the lichess database ( lichess.org/analysis ), c4 still easily accounts for the plurality of 2nd move choices (more than double the second most popular move) at every level. But ya maybe I will try to work on something against Bf4/Nf3/Nc3 on the second move to complete our gambit repertoire! I have checked out the fajarowicz gambit actually, even before Schrantz's video -- I think it is fun and has some good ideas, but it doesn't actually hold up as theory or a recommendation to play it. The truth about Ne4 is that if white just plays the most natural/common/obvious moves with Nf3-e3-Be2-castles, then white is simply slightly better and black really has no more fun left in the position. Here with f6, however, it passes The Lichess Challenge test ( kzitem.info/news/bejne/x4N52GiapaKkf4o ) seeing as the most common moves for white lose! Lots more excitement and sacrifices that you can actually get, and white needs to be much more careful. That's why I made this innovation instead of a video on a different line. Those are my thoughts :)

@@GambitMan Hello there, new discovery about that opening, I found a way to play it in a NOT dubious engine way, and with the White. You start with 1.Nf3 your favorite Zukertort, and against the second most popular move 1. ...d5 you reply 2. a4. Yeah, the Potato opening. Most likely you get some 2. ...c5, and you can play a reverse Budapest, with the a pawn push include. When you reach the famous "f3" (...f6) move, it's not just great, it's the top engine recommandation. Then the fun start. Some new lines appears, I can't detail everything here, but it's totally worth the preparation since it's so easy to lure Black into that territory.

I usually attempt to play the Fajarowicz against D4+C4, but I rarely enter the gambit lines I've prepped. Watched your Busch-Gass deniers vid, would love more content focused on the declined lines. I tend to fall apart when my gambits get declined 😅
@4xelchess905
2 жыл бұрын
I'm always amazed how many information these KZitemrs (William, Johnathan, Mio, ...) while still being digest, but under one hour, they can only scratch so much. What I do (and strongly advise you do) is I do my own study recounting the lines discussed in the video, trying to go from memory to already start memorizing. Then try to go figure what you would do against moves that aren't covered and think have a decent chance happening, or which seem challenging, using intuition and database to know which moves are likely or tricky. Then confirm with engine. More often than not, declining a gambit gives the decliner a slightly worse position but avoids complication (that's the whole point of declining) and simply following the top engine recommandation and unfodling the line to try to understand its plan is enough. But sometimes, some move score incredibly well in the database, indicating more tricky ideas to go for. For example for the Budapest Gambit, White does not have many ways to decline it since their d4 pawn is attacked and they don't want to recapture it with their Queen. The most common is d5, but that leaves a hole in c5 for you to put a Bishop, with tactics on f2 if White goes for the stereotypical Bg5. Nf3 the things that immediatlely comes to mind is e4, and checking with engine, it is indeed the plan, followed with c6 and d5 with a huge space advantage. Finally e3, the idea is to take once on d4 and later play d5, to give White an isolated Queen pawn. The bottom line is that you still have to know how to play "calm position", Black especially can't force the game to be messy in every position, but refucing gambits often have at least small downsides.

Played this gambit and lost, but it was my own fault. white defended with Qd2 and I did not *remember* Graif's recommendations. Grif's sound recommendation was (I found out later) to play ..Bb4 (which I did) but then double the pawns after Nc3 (which I didn't). Sigh. Following good advice requires study and memory. While I see Graif's 2nd Budapest Gambit as being good to play, I clearly need to study this video *more*.

I did have another thought in the Budapest mainline after knight to G4 followed by knight to F3 you normally play Bishop to C5 to provoke D3 and lock in the bishop I don’t know if you took note of that and play this move order in this way or just weren’t completely familiar with the theory what do you suggest?

Ya for sure, it's a respectable line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Nf3 Bc5 5. e3 Nc6 Black will get back their pawn, but if white here just plays the most obvious/common moves such as Nc3, Be2, castles, then they have a slight advantage. Difficult for black to have much fun here, but let me know your thoughts. The goal with my lines are to be new (both for the novelty value and for the surprise value over the board), tricky/trappy, fun, and of course actually good! I think this f6 stuff is certainly more exciting :)
