The Budapest Gambit is an ambitious and adventurous opening for Black, who offers a pawn as early as the second move in return for active and rapid development.

It has always been a particular favourite at club level, where it still provides a surprise weapon, but it has also been utilized with success by top-class Grandmasters.

The Budapest Gambit DVD version by ChessBase:
IM Andrew Martin teaches us that the Budapest Gambit is a dangerous weapon for club players and a perfect way to strive for the initiative. Pressurizing the opponent means getting on to the attack and this is where the fiery Budapest Gambit comes into play.

After 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e5 Black immediately takes the fight to White at the cost of a pawn. Active piece play is the predominant theme. Tactics abound. White can lose in a few moves if he or she does not know what they are doing.

A life and death struggle is rarely what the White player wants at such an early stage of the game. At the very least the position will be laced with interest. 

International Master Andrew Martin is also the English Chess Federation Manager of Coaching. He is 51 years old and lives in Sandhurst, England. This is his 17th DVD for Chessbase.
