Budapest gambut

I enjoy this opening very much, but would like to study it more, does anyone know where online or some books that could help me thx

There is a group you can join, very active, with lots of vote chess, (and strong players in the vote chess) where you can learn a lot.

When I go through bn.com or alibris or amazon you can get a used farquawitz (sorry about the spelling) variation fairly inexpensively.

What do you like about the Budapest Gambit?

If I were to buy a computer + database + couple of strong engines, I might target the Budapest as a rather simple exercise in opening preparation, because I think it would be pretty easy to find some pretty bulletproof systems against it.

I guess the appeal of the Budapest is that if white doesn't know what he's doing then you end up getting your pawn back with a better game? Throw in a couple of really tricky mating tricks and you've got yourself an opening. :-)

not to disrespect ozzie but the same could be said about any opening:) there is no reason not to play budapestgambit expecially at your level. listen to strong  IM andrew martins review of the opening

The Budapest Gambit
Most chess players are naturally talented, but do not have the time to devote to chess theory, such is the pace of modern life. Yet it is human nature to want to do things well and to achieve good results. To make the right choice of opening system is therefore of crucial importance for these players if they want to make the most of what they have. Below master level and especially with Black, the most crucial thing is to strive for the initiative. It is absolutely no good trying to gradually equalize. Leave that to Karpov, Kramnik and the world championship matches, where we can admire the defensive technique from afar.
Try this style at club level and one ends up exhausted and frustrated. 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. Study of the Budapest Gambit will place an extremely dangerous weapon into the hands of the club player

I don't disagree with that, but I have never been a fan of "tricky" openings. The problem is that players learn it as a shortcut. But this becomes an issue if you are ever known as the "Budapest Gambit Player". It's just not something I can recommend as an opening "system".

And I'm totally serious about targeting it, mostly for it's simplicity. With a real setup, you can consider the Budapest an exercise in opening preparation. It's not that it's refutable (though maybe it is, what do I know), but it's pretty easy to get a +=/= position for white, I believe. Of course it is a lot tricker to get such a plus with so little memorization in other openings, such as the Sicilian, Ruy Lopez, or any other "real" opening.

i like the budapest and I have beaten high players with it. I have beaten a 1900 with it. I think the budapest depends on your playing style

Get GM Moskolenko's book on the Budapest Defense...It will be a great help...Remember you are playing club level players here for the most part not Masters... And the Budapest is a viable reply to 1 d4...

true i understand ill try getting that book, and i understand plus many good club players tend to play d4 as white so the budapest worls
