Budapest Gambit: Attacking with Geometry

In this video, I play a blitz game against farshad1981 (2352) in the Budapest Gambit on chess.com. The middlegame features some unusual attacking maneuvers as well as a sacrifice to blow open the white kingside.

Every titled person in chess: lets make it strategical, look how i can actually win Eric Rosen: i will sacrifice 'cause it looks fun LMAO

[@majo9145]

lmao thats why I love Eric Rosen. He is a good player that just risks and he is chill about everything. He is not like those chess players that brag about wutever. Honestly I love seeing his games so much. He is also funny. no homo ofc I love him

[@alwinpriven2400]

sounds like Tal

[@_vblax]

actually taking two pawns that were in front of king with a useless bishop and leaving the opponent's king open to any kingside attack is very strategical AND fun, but yeah he didn't go into calculations

whenever i try lifting the rook in the budapest after watching you do it ,it immediatly gets trapped in the king side :) still trying tho haha xD

[@natew.7951]

Same for me

[@strings1984]

It's about knowing which pieces to attack with, based off of what pieces are defending with and in what order... It's all about knowing the mating threats. Eric just showed you some great ones.

[@landonphemister3941]

You inspired me to play this opening :) i’ve had a lot of fun with it the past few months

[@nate8106]

Love the Budapest and in that game Eric demonstrated there ideas exceptionally. I play the same way, but was happy yupp pick up the bf8 move. Thank you

[@icantthinkofaname5950]

I do basically the same thing with my king in the opening. I get the same result though.

[@dallastaylor6741]

I know it was super casual, but I still really appreciate that at the fact he went back to break it down and let the position sink in for all of us. Real slick stuff this game

[@davidwidzisz2643]

Eric, I’m trying to coach chess at my school, but I’m very new to the game. (I’ve a hard time saying no.) Your videos are wonderful, and I know I’m being greedy asking for more. But, I’d like to show my students a few gambits, and I think it would be awesome if I could stream a series of your games featuring just one gambit over and over. That way we could see a series of lines repeatedly. Just an idea. Thank you for you’ve posted already! Sorry if I’m asking too much. Stay healthy.

[@rafaelrojas7249]

Very good, thanks.

[@goodlife1581]

New subscriber...first chess channel I’ve subscribed to..I don’t know why lol but I love your videos! Actually I do know why, because I have gotten better, quickly, from watching them

[@carpetclimber4027]

Your channel is growing and you deserve it. You play instructive chess, has some bit of humour and an ability to entertain. Great stuff Eric! While the chessbrahs are more like throwing a pallet of beer into a wall, you are the guy pouring some tea, literally.

[@James-dg6xe]

I appreciate your candor.

[@NapoleonGARDENINGTV]

Amazing Budapest! You are the best! I'm new in online Chess. How to premove continuously? I can only premove one at a time.

I had an ad about a chess courses. That was 1st video that I watch about the chess.

Whats wrong with e4 after Qa8?

Watching from the future, as the prophecy foretold.

[@KW-vm5fc]

Fun game. The gambit has some tricks which can surprise the unwary. If I were to seriously start playing again, I'd definitely want to brush up on knowing how to play against this.

[@jrd33]

I love the Budapest but it doesn't give Black a good game against accurate play. Not good against engines :-(

[@stevelenores5637]

There is a video by Sarowin that refutes the Budapest. OK for blitz I guess.

[@WallyCard394]

Was K x h4 an option to avoid the mate? Probably still a losing position for white.

For someone who is trying to get better at chess and isn’t necessarily worried about eating at the time, is playing against the computer over and over and progressively higher cpu ratings a good way to learn the game better?

[@jrd33]

It will certainly help, but you are learning to beat a computer, which is not the same as learning to beat a human. They have different strengths and weaknesses.

[@coosoorlog]

4:38 Nxh4 might be a try to avoid mate and fight for a draw. Knight could block queen check and in case of rook check, king steps to g3 and there are no mates and the best black can do is repeat since queen is under attack. I think.

[@vkaiiims]

No. Knight doesn't block queen checks. Qg3+, then Qf3#

[@coosoorlog]

@@vkaiiims after Qg3+, the king naturally returns to g1. though Ke2 seems to work as well since Qf3+ Rxf3. if Qxg2, King escapes but black probably has winning attack (but not mate).

[@kaishah2822]

Coos Oorlog Rh1 then Rh2 and black gets the queen

[@lucasmatsuoca]

It stops mate in short term, but it just give up too much material cause of Rh1+ Kf2 Rh2+, but you're right, looks like the best way to fight

[@coosoorlog]

@@lucasmatsuoca yes that's right. I was looking at mating patterns involving the queen and ignored the simple winning line. of course getting queen for a knight wins easily (and black still has an attack) edit: (and black gets one of the bishops too)

Man you had your opponent on a string. You were anticipating everything. I think you almost premoved the whole game...

[@cianely1047]

Could anyone explain why white can’t move pawn to e4 I’m sure I’m being stupid but can’t see it

[@ytoryu3604]

Because if you play e4 after Qa8 Just Nxf5 winning a piece because Exf5 run in too forced mate in two with Qh1 Kf2 Qh2#

[@pranav3312]

what pawn is pinned at 2:15?

[@yndihalda]

The f4 pawn is pinned because the queen is on the same rank.

[@Zockendio]

Wasn't e4 instead of Re2 just a way to avoid mate ?

[@sollertia_]

He mentions that e4 them just Nxf5, winning back the piece, maintaining the threat, keeping initiative, and being up on material

[@Zockendio]

@@sollertia_ Indeed, followed by king g2, but mate is still avoided

[@Allord42]

Maybe your opponent could play could play Knight h4 instead of Rook e2?

[@jonathanlindsey463]

geometry... i think the reason chess came easy to me is math... i have always loved math.. geometry, algebra, trig, calc, analytical geometry, multivariable calc, linear algebra... i loved it all.. and i was 1604 the first year i learned chess... but i sadly lost interest in chess when i was 2300 the 5th year i played chess... i still play a game once in awhile online for fun... but since i play so little now my online rating has fallen from 2300 to 2100... plus there r SO MANY cheaters online that i dont trust playing, for example a 1569 player challenged me today then picked me apart like a tactical 2500 engine would, by sacing a R and N to open my castle that would have led to mate in 8.. 1569 players dont see that

Ya he needed to take the knight on h4
