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! [Event "?"] [Site "Pogo"] [Date "2004.09.16"] [Round "?"] [White "John_Sobolewski"] [Black "mba20038"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 Nc6 4. Nc3 Bg4 5. O-O Nd4 6.
