Budapest defense
I took up the budapest defense as black against 1.d4... I studied it on my vacation and enjoyed it very much... the traps are very similiar to italian setups... and I essayed it for the first time on pogo the other day...
I didn't send myself any of the games but I scored 4 out of 4 wins with it... not a stamp of approval but as I expected... most people I play with online haven't seen it and don't play accurately against it...
That being said... I did manage to get my butt kicked 10/12 times against a guy ranked 300 points higher than me... but my two wins had almost identical move orders... it's a silly trap in the Philidor... Queen for mate!
