What do you think about Budapest Gambit?

Do you think this is a recommended opening for blitz and bullet games?

I feel it's a tad dubious but only a tad, and it's also interesting. You may be down a pawn but you get good initiative and a very unique position for it, which has some complexity to it. It's not that bad objectively.... It's also quite rare. The fact it allows you to bypass so much d4/c4 theory is also very significant. Much better than something crap like the Englund.

As a player who loves risk and gambits, I must say that this gambit has never convinced me.

Moreover, at high levels where I play, it tends to yield poor results.

If White is prepared, Black's position is one I personally dislike.

I’d rather play other dubious gambits, like the Englund.

I know it's objectively worse according to engines, but it’s much more direct, dynamic, and playable

not to mention more fun and provocative.

If you don’t like the Englund, another option is the Albin Countergambit, which has much more venom.

It can also be combined with the Chigorin Defense, since our opponent won’t always play d4 and c4.

The problem with the Budapest Gambit is that you need to know what to do when White doesn’t play c4 on the second move.

In my early chess years, being a creative player, I used to play the Fajarowicz with Ne4—it’s like the Budapest, but the knight goes to e4 instead of g4.

However, over time, I realized that the Fajarowicz was a complete disaster as an opening. In hindsight, I would have been better off seriously studying the Budapest.

I love the Budapest Defense, it's my main opening against d4, and if the opponent does not play c4 move two, I usually play a Reversed London, unless they play the London, where I play the c5 and Qb6 variation. The Budapest is not great, but playable for sure. I like it, it's aggressive, and fun, but not terrible if white studies theory like in this variation:

That is certainly playable.

Against the Zukertort you just play the Krause transposition and you're fine. You won't transpose with anything from c4/d4, and it's a very compact line.

I know from first hand experience, that it's bad, because I play it all the time. It's a one trick pony, if the opponent doesn't fall for the trick, I invariably get a worse position.
