New: Simon Williams - The Exciting Budapest Gambit

by ChessBase Shop - 03/08/2020

Are you tired of playing d5 against 1.d4 or c4? Grandmaster Simon Williams, one of the most creative GMs in the chess world, has tackled the flamboyant Budapest Gambit. Williams' typically fun and entertaining way of teaching is paired with serious theory, as he is always very well-prepared to show extraordinary variations. The English Grandmaster honestly reflects on how this opening can backfire, and goes over several traps that can be triggered against White. If you want to learn about an exciting new opening, Budapest Gambit is definitely worth a try. Photo: ChessBase

The Exciting Budapest Gambit

The Budapest Gambit is an exciting and fun way to play against 1.d4 and 2.c4 — replying with 1...Nf6 and 2...e5. In this video, you will learn how to pose problems for White with this fascinating opening. Exploring the strength of this opening has been an exciting journey for me. When I started to get interested in this underestimated opening I knew very little, but now books and articles about this exciting opening take up a lot of space in my office. Then the fun started… Analysing this material I started to see the beauty and strength of the Budapest. In fact, I was surprised about how good this opening actually is! On this DVD I share my findings with you. Join me on my journey to discover the strength of the Budapest Gambit.
