In this dynamic counter-attacking opening Black offers his opponent a pawn as early as the second move! In return, he strives for active piece play and possibilities for an early assault on White's king. Against well-prepared opponents the Budapest Gambit is a tricky and aggressive opening which suffers little in comparison to the normal Queen's Gambit and Indian defences; against lesser opposition it is an ideal surprise weapon, intensifying the struggle from the outset and often leading to spectacular early finishes. Whatever your standard of play, this up-to-date guide will help you to understand the critical ideas of each variation, many of which have undergone a fundamental revision in the last few years.

Mikhail Tseitlin has twice won the Moscow Championship and attained Grandmaster status in 1987. Igor Glaskov is a Soviet candidate master and renowned theoretician who specializes in gambit play.
