 and see how other professional played it lately. Budapest Gambit The Budapest Gambit also sometimes called Budapest Defence A51 is a courageous gambit. In the past, it was a favorite of Tartakower and Réti. The idea is to disconcentrate the opponent, who does not know what happened after some moves. It is a provocation simply to say. Natural move is 3.d4 x e5. After this move we have two possibilities for Black. First is 3. .. Nf6-e4 Fajarowicz Variation with 4. Qd5 or Qc2 or Nd2 or Nf3. Second way of Black is 3. ..Ng4 with following 4/ e4 or Nf3 or Bf4. The opening is more played at a club level, but sometimes also seen on haigher levels by Gulko, Rogers, Kurajica..

The Sicilian Defence, Closed variation B25 is played by White
when players do not want to memorize hundred of variations of Najdorf,
Sozin-Velimirovic, Scheveningen and other theoretically well known
variations of Sicilian Defence. It is played with good feeling for
positions and developing your figures by typical ways. It is a better
play for White with stronger players, because they understand the
situations better and have feeling for strategy and tactics. The
opening is played at all levels. The principle is not to open the
positions with Nf3 and d4, expansion on kingside and manoeuvering game
with developing bishop to g2 square. After sequence of moves : 1/ e4
c5 2/ Nc3 Nc6 3/ g3 g6 4/ Bg2 Bg7 5/ d3 d6 6/ f4 or Be3 can
lead to more directions. After 6/ f4 Black can play 6. .. e5 /
Botvinnik Variation / or ..e6 / Black fights against f5 /. Sicilian
Closed was a useful weapon of Spassky, but many other GMs liked to play
it too.
