Icant believe White drew it wtf.. Extreme timetrouble?
How to handle the Budapest gambit? Example game!
Sort:
It was a 10m+0s game. It is too much time to make inferior moves, so I played for a win and had my thinking. I had no time for the pawn endgame and the lucky ... got away with his draw ( I had 11s when I had to take the pawn ).
However the system is just fine. The lesson that I have learnt: make no effort to defend the gambit pawn, instead build as solid a position as you can, and in the end black's development will be unnatural. I almost felt when after a6 he wanted to push b5, but realized that he can't. He also can't push d5. Bleh. Black is completely blocked.
My two main questions are: why Black allowed b2-b4, and did not play 6...a5, and why white wasted a move on a2-a3 and never followed up with b2-b4 plus Bb2.
You can answer these questions having aid by your engine, although it's not required at all here.
I play a3 as a prophylactic move because I want to avoid Bb4 by black. It is not a fixed plan to follow up with b4, Bb2, as it turned out in this game. It must be good for black to play a5 as a response but most of the players who play this line don't know what to do if I don't fall into their trap and try to defend the pawn with every available mean.
The engine sees no mistake or inaccuracy in the 15 opening moves.
