Budapest Defence (variations)


Budapest Defense

Typical Starting Position

The above position arose after:  1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. Bf4 Bb4+ 6. Nc3 Qe7 *



 Now the e5 pawn is being attacked by Black.  White will need to bring in another defender (7. Qd5)  Black can then create another threat with 7. .. Bxc3  8. bxc3 Qa3 and the White Queen must re-defend with Qd3.  It is difficult to find a better alternative for White at this stage.
