For those who have trouble visualizing the whole variation with 4...g5:
6...Bg7 doesn't seem that bad.
The Budapest Gambit Refuted?
Sort:
As much as I enjoy trolling Pfren, he does provide good commentary.
Moskalenko's book is a very good reference on the Budapest.
For something more close to a "refutation" than Dzindzi's mainstream line, have a look at the great book "Squeezing the Gambits" by GM Kiril Georgiev. While his suggested line is not an outright refutation of the Budapest, it's certain that it poses Black very difficult problems to solve.

I don't really like the Budapest Gambit, much better is the Albin's countergambit. Some how I find the resulting positions from the ACG much easier to play.
Ah, the good ole Albin... great opening if you have the creative mind of Moro, but hardly a really good opening, and hardly forced.
Incidentally, Georgiev and Avrukh deal it with the 5.a3 variation, which seems good enough to me.
more evidence that the budapest gambit is unsound

Not trying to offend but was that comment really worth reviving a thread that had been dead for 2 years?
Because everyone refers to him as Dzindzi since the very early eighties, at least- that's why.
