# 49 is a dream position for Black in the Budapest (before the commital 11...0-0).
This is a position known as early as 1937 and a game Keres- Gilg in Prague. Keres won, but no good player cared repeating. The reason is rather obvious: Black has a safe king, and various white liabilities to work against. Black's plus score in chess praxis should not come as a surprise to anyone sane enough.
At least draws are rare here (only three out of twenty games- Black won half of them). Keres can't repeat the experiment, and since other strong masters don't care, it's unlikely to see some serious games in that variation.
white: Nd4-Nb3-0-0 black: f5-fe4-0-0-0
Preserving my pair of bishops. What about the engine? I don't knooow and I don't caaare. Kidding. It's unclear. In my humble opinion.
Non sequitur.
