Much more than just a sharp surprise Weapon
The Budapest Gambit is popular
with club and internet chess players all over the world, and it is easy to see
why. It has surprise value, it’s not hard to learn, and it leads to sharp and
dynamic play from the very start of the game.
But what about its
strategic value?
Grandmasters tend to be sceptical about gambits like
this. However, when Viktor Moskalenko started playing the Budapest, its
all-round appeal struck him, and since then he has won many games with it in
countless tournaments.
This book contains quite a few of Moskalenkos own
games, as well as games by other star players from the past and the present.
They illustrate perfectly the dynamic character of this gambit as well as its
solid strategic foundations.
The Fabulous Budapest Gambit
does not shower you with long computer-generated variations, but
provides crystal-clear insights into the wide spectrum of this opening,
explaining the plans for both White and Black.
Moskalenkos lively style
will infect you and encourage you to start playing this opening which is a great
weapon at any level, from club player to grandmaster. The Budapest Gambit can
surprise any player, even at the highest level.
Viktor Moskalenko
(1960) is an International Grandmaster born in the Ukraine, who has
been living in Spain since 2000. He is a successful author and a well-known
chess coach who has worked with Vasily Ivanchuk. The former Ukrainian champion
remains a very active player and has won many tournaments in his new home
country.
Freechess:
"I haven't seen this quality in an
opening book in a very long time; the Ukrainian Grandmaster did a really
outstanding job. He has found the right mixture and adresses experienced players
who have been playing the gambit for a long time, as well as
novices."
