It took me a long time to digest this video because there are so many creative, tactical ideas in the opening. Now I'm in love with the Fajarowicz Gambit. It is amazing how often you win a queen or get a spectacular kingside attack. It's beautiful. Thank you, Mio.
I just tried this an hour ago in rapid game. Opponent played the qc2 line, I got a great game but blundered a big advantage and lost. Just need to polish my technique. The lines are great!
Very cool video! :-) My favourite move after 4.a3 is 4...Qh4, but 4...b6 is mentioned by Moskalenko as the best move. Who knows, but anyway very interesting gambit.
Great video, as usual. Just one remark: you mention a 'Karl Richter' a few times, but isn't his name 'Kurt Richter' ? (Kurt Paul Otto Joseph Richter, to be exact). Love your work!
Thanks, I really enjoyed it😊 brings back childhood memories when I studied the Fajarowicz-Richter-Gambit 😊 Unfortunately Black has (serious) problems after 4.a3! 😓 A) The 4. ...b6 line (+= | +/-) is a bit slow, but probably the best, trying to fish in muddy waters. Unfortunately 5.Nf3 Bb7 6.Nbd2 a5 (deviations do not look pleasant as well) 7.Nxe4 Bxe4 8.Bf4 are good and natural moves for White. B) Unfortunately the problem with 4. ...d6, which is in the spirit of this gambit, or 5. ...d6 (4. ...Nc6 first), is the antidote Qc2! B1) 4. ...d6 5.Qc2! d5 (a3 was a free useful move compared to 4.Qc2 d5 (4. ...Bb4+!)) 6.e3! Bf5 7.Nc3 sad times for Black who will end up in practically hopeless positions. B2) 4. ...Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Qc2! d5 (6. ...Bf5 7.Nc3!; 6. ...Nc5 7.b4!) 7.e3! sad times again for Black who will probably lose after 7. ...Bf5 8.Bd3 or 7. ...Bg4 8.exd5 Qxd5 9.Bc4. I would love to play the Richter Gambit in tournament games though it is hard to make it work in times of Stockfish etc., when all the good old lines and suggestions - Gutman (2004) and Moskalenko (2007) - seem to sort of fall apart 😔 But nonetheless, thank you!! 😊
Karl Richert was a famous musician especially known for his interpretation of works by Bach and Händel. The famous "romantic" chess player was Kurt Richter (Kurt Paul Otto Joseph Richter) who lived from 1900-1969. His nickname was Scharfrichter von Berlin (headsman of Berlin).
Thank you for this great overview on the Fajarowicz Variation! But the name of Richter is not Karl, his name is Kurt Richter. "Der Scharfrichter von Berlin", also to mention is Richter-Rauzer oder Richter-Weresov-Variations. He played the French like Anderssen. But Eliskases or Stahlberg crushed him in the French.
Hvala i na ovom materijalu. Nakon odgledanih nekoliko snimaka mogu da kažem da je po meni najveći kvalitet materijala,veliki broj taktičkih trikova u svakom snimku.Pravo blago bi bilo sakupiti ih sve u jedan materijal....Pozdrav..
Hi Mio. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning new dynamic things which help me to improve my chess. Therefor I want to ask you a question about the Budapest in general: As we have seen that the Fajarowicz variation of the Budapest Gambit is verymuch playable which means that Whites well score doesent mean anything if we know what we are doing. Does the same thing exist also for the main Line (Ng4)? I ask this because if I start playing a sideline of an Opening I normally look also at the main Line (because consider a main Line to be a save Option besides the other Lines which I could chose). But looking at Ng4 im not so sure. Mainly because of Yasser Seirawans "Bust to the Budapest" which goes like this: d4 Nf6 c4 e5 dxe5 Ng4 Bf4 Nc6 Nf3 Bb4+ Nc3 Bxc3+ bxc3 Qe7 Qd5 f6 exf6 Nxf6 Qd3 d6 g3! Ne4 Bg2 0-0 0-0 Nc5 Qe3 Be6 Nd4 Bxc4 Nxc6 Qxe3 Bxe3 bxc6 Bxc5 dxc5 Bxc6 and a probably lost ending for black arises. Of course there are many diviations but I didnt find anything similar to your Lines in this Variation yet. Because of this I kind of think that this Line is close to being refuted or just really bad... After all I am a gambit player and I like the Budapest but I can only hope that Ng4 is playable. If you have some new Ideas there It would be nice if you could share them with us.
In the ...b6 Line, after Black castles, I play Qc2 and Nc3 (with the idea of a later Nd5 after ...f5) before castling, and black should not have too much fun any more. :-)
Will you make one for the Ng4 variation ?? Also, I used to play Budapest but in tournaments many people get scared and play moves like e3 in order to avoid the gambit, so what I do in those positions ?
I think Fajarowicz is a better version of Englund gambit) In Englund the same trick d6 sack a pawn, take back bd6, move Qe7 orf6, bishop and castle long) This Fajarowicz is definetely worth a try) But , logically, how Black should respond on the 2 Nf3 Maybe , Kings indian?
So many nice ideas. I bought the book of moskalenko but fara gambit is not well covered . I studied this video every month! I am just 1800 but I like yr idea that usually opponent is not prepared on this line.
@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial haha I bet you do / in my game i did not see an alternative to taking the knight on d2 but i am not a good nor a creative player, so...
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ne4 4. a3 b6 5. Nd2 Bb7 6. Qc2 Nxd2 7. Bxd2 d6 8. exd6 Bxd6 9. Nf3 O-O 10. e3 Nd7 11. Be2 a5 12. O-O Re8 13. b4 Ne5 14. Bc3 Nxf3+ 15. Bxf3 Bxf3 16. gxf3 0-1 I saw no alternative to playing 6...NXd2 ( yep i was black and thanks to my very sleepy friend i won but i did not count this as a victory)
Albin is quite interesting gambit and could be played once in a while, although, it cant be used as main weapon on regular basis like Budapest gambit...
@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial I figured. I only asked because your a awesome theorists and I'm sure strong tactical player which I felt is all one needs to be good at blitz and your high rating makes it feel real
Thank you so much for the videos on the Fajarowicz! I managed to beat GM Bogdan Lalić in an online simul with your videos as prep! I thought it was important to get into a level playing field, and I knew he played against Indian systems as white from the database, with only 4 games v.s. the Budapest and none v.s. the Fajarowicz. It's as Tal said, "You must take your opponent into a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." Here's the game: www.chess.com/live/game/5798082184 Once again, thank you so much!
@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial you can completly suprise someone who doesnt know stuff :) sure. but if there i would invest time i would do this in normal theory :)
This opening sux. It is only for chess 'pirates' that are willing to risk an unsound opening hoping that the opponent will be unfamiliar with it because it is rare. 4.a3 is the death of the Fajarowicz. I have every book written on this opening and spent months and a lot of computer time trying to rehab this line. Yeah u might get a lot of tactical wins against noobs but it won't take you past 2000 at best. This opening is primarily for blitz hustlers playing for money against fish. Once the fish proves he can bust this the hustler may try another fishbuster like the Grob. Grow up and play real stuff. The ONLY good thing about the Fajarowicz is that, like every opening, it will teach you many ideas. Every opening has SOMETHING to teach you.
@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial It's a time stamp for myself so I can find the video segment in which you start showing the opening moves. Once again, thanks so much for your videos, best chess teacher on youtube!
