[Event "The Budapest Gambit: Main line 4. Bf4"] [Site "https://lichess.org/study/YioTyZA1/uZXsQ0sh"] [Result "*"] [Variant "Standard"] [ECO "A52"] [Opening "Indian Defense: Budapest Defense, Rubinstein Variation"] [Annotator "https://lichess.org/@/intermezzio"] [FEN "rnbqkb1r/pppp1ppp/8/4P3/2P3n1/8/PP2PPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"] [SetUp "1"] [UTCDate "2016.07.22"] [UTCTime "20:59:17"] [Source "https://lichess.org/study/YioTyZA1/uZXsQ0sh"] [Orientation "black"] 1. Bf4 { This is the main line of the Budapest Gambit. White develops his bishop while defending the e-pawn. } 1... Nc6 2. Nf3 { Black attacks with his knight while white defends with his knight. } 2... Bb4+ { This is an in-between move. Black plans to bring his queen to e7 and win the pawn, and he brings out the bishop with check to prevent the queen from blocking the bishop. } 3. Nbd2 { White plays Nbd2 to prevent doubled pawns. However, this also prevents Qd4, a move that protects the e5 pawn after black plays Qe7. White could play Nc3 instead, in order to keep the pawn, which we can find in some more aggressive variations. } (3. Nc3 Bxc3+ 4. bxc3 Qe7 5. Qd5 f6 6. exf6 Nxf6 { Black has compensation for the pawn here because of his development and white's doubled, isolated pawns. }) 3... Qe7 4. e3 Ngxe5 { Black wins back the pawn and he has good development of his pieces. Some possible future moves include d6, O-O and Re8, and a5. } *
