Budapest Gambit

by Timothy W. Taylor

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.

 

In this book Timothy Taylor offers an in-depth study of the Budapest Gambit. He presents up-to-date analysis, makes recommendations for Black and White, and covers the typical plans for both sides. This book provides everything you need to know about this fascinating opening.

Solid primer on this fun gambit. Taylor keeps your eye on the dangerous lines. Played a lot of games that follow his book lines and they get drawish quickly as long as both sides make the best moves.
