How would you like to set the board on fire on move two, and win with brilliant tactics that leave your friends in awe?
If that sounds fun, then
FIDE Master Kamil Plichta's latest discovery will thrill you.
When FM Plichta isn't streaming or playing online, he travels back in time and searches his chess library for long-forgotten, even "refuted" opening ideas. His latest outing brought back and
upgraded a rusty gambit from 1896, and he's sharing it with you
here.
Forget the slow-going game you get after White's 1.d4 and 2.c4.
With
The Fearsome Budapest Gambit, we shatter the opponent's center, step up our development to the third gear, and get fun tactical positions that boost our winning chances. All for the price of a pawn.
Rock White's ramparts as early as move two!
After
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4, The Budapest Gambit attacks White's position with the "impossible"
2...e5!First played over 120 years ago, many chess authorities questioned the gambit's soundness. But they
never refuted it.
Today, top grandmasters like Richard Rapport and Baadur Jobava uncork 2...e5 to surprise and beat 2700+ players. They love the fighting games they get out of
The Fearsome Budapest Gambit, and we believe you will, too.
Here's why:
🔥
Maximize your chances for a knockout right off the bat. Get crazy, double-edged positions over the board, where your knowledge of the essential tactics and strategies weigh more than strict evaluations.
(And since White is more or less forced to accept your gambit, you get to
flex your attacking prowess a lot. 😎)
🔥
Built for the ambitious club player. White's strongest moves are covered in-depth. But special attention has been given to the most popular continuations you will face.
🔥
New ideas and improvements over existing theory. FM Plichta used the strongest engines to uncover never-before-seen novelties that give you a leg up against prepared opponents.
(Case in point: FM Plichta busted a "refutation" in the Nbd2 main line, leading to a monster knight on c5, flawless pawn structure, and easy play for Black.)
🔥
Objective and designed to maximize your learning. FM Plichta has no trouble spilling the beans about his favorite openings, good or bad.
If White plays the correct moves, it won't be possible to equalize and I can't promise that. Instead of that, I can promise great practical chances, a ton of novelties and improvements over the existing theory, and most importantly, a great amount of fun. - FM Kamil Plichta
