The Budapest Question

Avatar of meatonthetable

The one thing i do not like playing the Budapest in tourneys is how easy white can draw the position ...i won with luck one time in tourney when white messed up a king and pawn endgame both even...so white has to pretty much blunder for black to win ..

That, Is What I Have Been Hearing Lately, But I Feel Like That Isn't The Complete Truth.

A king & pawn ending is a long way from the opening...

I Mean The Black Has No Chance Unless A Blunder Happens For White, It Does Not Seem Quite Right To Me.

Sounds like crap to me too. Smile

Essentially, Doesn't Every Game Ultimately Revolve Around Your Enemy Messing Up For You To Take An Advantage?

Avatar of AndyClifton

Pretty much, yeah.  Even a lot of the draws (lol)...first you mess up, then your opponent does (or vice versa).

So Saying That Black Has no Winning Chances Isn't Really An Accurate Statement.

It's the usual kind of stuff you hear around here...kind of like with the Ponziani Opening thread.

Yeah, Let People Be Opinionated All They Want I Guess...
