I'm always fascinated by gambits and after reading this recent article
Openings for Tactical Players: Budapest Gambit (http://www.chess.com/article/view/openings-for-tactical-players-budapest-gambit) I knew I had to try the Budapest Gambit.
The problem of course is getting to the starting position. Will white open with the queen's pawn and then play c4 after I open with the king's knight.
So, sometimes it's tough to practice. (Of course, starting a thematic game takes care of some of those problems.)
Anyhow, enough throat clearing. I just had a fun game with the Budapest Gambit that I thought I'd share here.
It almost felt like an extended tactics trainer problem as my opponent made what I think are a few early mistakes and I got to slide everything nicely into place.
I'm sure my opponent made some mistakes and blunders and I probably did too, but I definitely enjoyed this game and I hope you did too.
I'll read any feedback you provide.
