DESTROY D4: The Budapest Gambit

[@Volclus]

MEMBERS get to pick future opening videos!

[@NoobSharkey]

I love the Budapest gambit, one of those rare black gambits that are actually really good and has some nice aggressive ideas

[@The_Memer6969]

people call it a tricks only opening.which is better in your opening against queens pawn opening- budapest gambit or the QGD

[@elijaharsenault]

QGD for solid, sound positions and Budapest if you want a higher win rate and a higher loss rate at the same time with absolutely no draws

Before watching this video i was a zillionare, i had houses all over the world, 35 beautiful children, hundreds of expensive cars, and thirteen giga-yachts. But ever since i watched this video its all gone away, my wives took everhthing from me, and now i live as a mimimum wage employee. CURSE YOU VOLCLUS! I am SO GLAD you were torn apart atom by atom in 1989 by KGB scientists R.I.P(iss).

RIP

[@Catspostytshorts]

Volclus can you make a vid on n’importe Indian defence pls

[@moviearena1500]

Only if the opponent goes by the script

[@Siderite]

8:42 why do you say White's best option is f4? It's SF's sixth move, 1.2 points from Nb5, considered best. I see f4 is the second most played move on lichess (well, 4 games). Where does this move come from?

[@Volclus]

I think I got it slightly mixed up, as f4 is the best move in many similar positions

[@AlexAmarMusic]

This is awesome! Gonna try this 🙏

[@menace202]

Just found you a few days ago and also started learning the Budapest! Perfect timing!

[@rodneyfungus8249]

You know any video which claims to ‘destroy’ d4 with the Budapest gambit is going to be dubious. There is a reason why super GMs do not play the Budapest in serious games. I love it when my opponents play it against me. My new favoured line as white is not even given in the video.

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

I like your no non sense approach to this game. Really good stuff. (y) !!

[@christobobbo5575]

Are you aware of the graif gambit? It comes after the Budapest accepted, Ng4, Bf4, Nc6, Nf3, and then f6, white takes f6, queen takes, and white now has to defend the bishop and the b2 pawn. FM William graif has a great video on it, very tricky and trappy that is definitely what id play over g5

[@Volclus]

Seems fun and tricky, but sadly after 7.e3 or 7.Qd2 it is both objectively bad, and scores poorly for black, but it does seem to have some potential.

[@yeetusdeletus5714]

@@Volclus7. Qd2 actually is evaluated by stockfish as a draw, if we follow william graif’s recommendations. But 7. e3 is just shit for black but you get some compensation, tricks, and fun for the knight you will probably have to end up gambiting. Still, the refutation has been found only 12 times out of ~9400 games and even if i lose cus of my opponent knowing it somehow at least its fun and not some closed ruy lopez giucco pianissimo lol

[@yeetusdeletus5714]

@@Volclusw vid too

[@melstander7985]

this gambit is a pest when you play thew queen's gambit.

[@Insanaillogical]

Nice one m8❤

[@Siderite]

15:00 so interesting! e4 starts as Stockfish's best move, while castling is not even top 5 until depth 24. Yet after depth 30, the top is Na4, e4 and 0-0 at the same approximate value. Castling gets to second place at depth 32! a3 comes out of nowhere to be best move at depth 34 and dies around 37. Castling becomes best move at depth 38 and e4 is thrown to the bin, behind even something like a3, h3 or Rb1.

[@kecoaxx]

if homer can play this, i must play this too

[@PooCassoX]

This is so good. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

Good channel man! :P

[@Kouenji_God]

I hope you're going to post more sicilian variations in the future my friend. Amazing video as always!!

[@defaulted9181]

I play this reguarly even in OTB games. Ive always ha ve successfully got a fine position expect for when I was playing an NM.

[@Gwennbleidd_Chess]

The best video on YT on this gambit! Thank you, I've been searching for this for so long!

[@mikesiegele7479]

Never had anyone open like that when I played with black

[@thekubist]

Do you have pgns for your videos? Thanks!

[@edralenchukeechua4513]

[@hamzaskzix]

[@roryharvey2727]

EXCELLENT!!! I LOVE IT!! AND WILL USE IT.

[@geographynonsensical5003]

Hi what is the best opening for 1000 elo as white?

[@The_Memer6969]

I am finding success in Vienna gambit but its boring if your opponent is trying for a draw.If your opponent is always playing for a win or is bad,its very good but if you have a opponent that plays solidly and tries for equality. Its a boring death where you will die if you try for a win.Look out for kings gambit or jobava London .I heard it's good.

[@I_Just_Rizzed_You_Up]

I usually play the modern against d4 and go into the beefeater but I don’t know it that well a video of a ultimate guide on the peradatcl however you spell it in the modern with the beefeater would be awesome !!

[@I_Just_Rizzed_You_Up]

Jaenisch gambit Ult guide next 🤞🤞
