  • excellent

  • Well, having played the BG many many times, I have to say that White does actually get a better game with the two B's. White starts attacking on the Q-side and that's also where Black will suffer the most after moves like c5 etc. In very fast games BG is perfectly okay, but in longer games, or any time control for that matter, where there's more time on the clock, it isn't.

  • I would like to play this position against him. I do not believe that there is any advantage for White. Black has a strong knight and the pawn structure on whites queenside is weak. c4 blocks the white bishop, b3 is weak, the queen stands on the wrong square. Enough compensation for the two bishops!

  • @TheFiggRig Why doesn't the King's Indian work with 1.e4?

  • When my black opponent plays this game, he always adds a bishop on c5, forcing me into e3, and then he plays the Qe7 or the f6 move. I find myself as white just marginally ahead

  • Where this opening is super fun is blitz chess. Unless white plays precisely, ending up in the final position he shows, black WILL gain the advantage if one knows the opening well. With 2.Nf3 you can go 2...c5 or 2...d5. However, Roman is 100% right. You WILL need to know another black opening or 2 if you like the Budapest Gambit. For serious competition, it is better to go with something like the King's Indian Defense which meets all opening moves besides 1.e4

  • @barzibarzi I, too, love the Budapest Gambit as black, but everything he says is accurate. In the final, "best," position white ends up with the bishop pair, the only real advantage for white. About white's advantage, he says, "Surely not winning but they have superior position... and 2 bishops, they DO mean something in this position." He's right, the position is relatively open. white has taken away the black knight's advanced post squares, therefore, white has a theoretical advantage.
