Great videos Eric! I've a suggetion, would you consider making series of videos on certain openings, like you did with the budapest gambit? I think a lot of people would like that. Thank you!
At 8:00 if Bxd6 White cant take the pawn on g6 because of Be5. Only square for the Queen would be on G5 then Qxg5 Bxg5 and b2 is hanging so black wins a whole rook
This is very great for a class B - A player like me, to surprise my opponent. I'm very fond of your showcase of the Budapest Gambit. Thanks alot Eric, love you!
At 3:16 after Kxe4 Black has Qf4+. Kd3 is forced then Black has Qd4+ with significant advantage. Black loses a little tempo to continue development but White will have to play very accurately to stop the king hunt. d6 frees Black's light squared Bishop which will join the hunt soon with Bd7.
I'm sure we wouldn't mind a third video on this opening- it interests me as it seems from a computers point of view to be a sound gambit, like the qgd but without the common knowledge of the theory
I love your videos I'm a new player and you've helped me improve so much 😅 understanding chess was so much easier with your videos. definitely going to try the Budapest now!!
Played it twice at the club now and lost both times. First time I messed up the move order with Nf6 instead of Bc5 first and white's bishop came in. Then tried to stalemate which would have been beautiful but I could still grab one pawn and mate ensued. The second game I was doing very well with a -1,6 score on move 23. Then it went to +3 because of a tactic. I will continue playing it, both times my opponent had a hard time dealing with it and started taking time after Ng4 :) Thanks again E dog
Thanks Eric, another clearly explained video. I especially appreciate the way you explain why such a move is good, planning ahead for the next ones. Something I need to practice !
At 9:15 Qf3 threatens mate with Qxf7#. If c8+ Black just Rxc8. Black can then defend with f6 or Qf4, but there is still high pressure on White's position and Black is still better with more possibilities- Rd8 grabbing that open file.
Hello Eric, I enjoy your videos. I am increasingly intrigued with the Budapest Gambit as I confront the Sicilian Attack (?) often. What I’m asking is what is your analysis of the following Budapest Gambit variation? d4 Nf6 c4 e5 d4xe5 Ng4 Bf4 ... (Considered from many resources as the “best” response). Now..., ... g5 I’m aware that this move at first appears to weaken black’s kingside but after..., Bg3 ??? With the semi-retreat of the Bishop white cannot easily coordinate his bishop and knight in an attack/defense of g5. I’ve examined my own analyses and arrived at a tentative conclusion that black’s “g5” move offers great potential for many offensive lines that can diminish white’s initial materiel advantage. Your analysis would be most welcome! Thanks.
Eric , u are slightly mistaken in the line 4 Nf3 Bc5 5 e3Nc6 6 Nc3 it is beter to retake on e5 after Black 0-0 Because, if u retake on e5 on move 6...N: e5 7 N: e5 N: e5 Here , White has a possibilty to play f4 driving away the Knight, then as follows,Bd3, Qh5 , castles and Rook lift f3 - h3 with a big attack So in order to prevent it Black is better to take on e5 after 0-0 and Re8
That first position is insane. I play the Albin Countergambit against d4 c4 because I’m a terrible player and after seeing an opponent win my Queen with it I wanted to play it, but at my current level nobody falls for that and the Budapest looks interesting… regardless 1..Nf6 seems much better than 1..d5 to me, and it can transpose into KID/Grunfeld/Budapest which are all far more sound than the Albin Countergambit I assume… I’m a d4 player and I hate playing against d4, I’m not sure what to do.
Could you show us what to do if White plays 4.f4 ? I think this move defends the e5 pawn pretty well... I have faced it once and didn't know what to do.
thank you eric, i am already playing the budapest online because of you, but i would like to learn specifically how to punish 4. f4 before adding this to my tournament repertoire. it seems to be ignored everywhere i go!
So many videos of the same opening :) maybe you should keep up this trend, focus on an opening for a bit. It’s been fun to watch ! Thank you ive added this opening to my blitz repertoire!
I'd recommend studying the Grünfeld, Kings Indian and The benoni - also the nimzo and QGD, but really it depends on where you are in chess rating-wise.
Raging Poo + Black clearly has the better king safety and pawn structure, but White is still 'up' a Knight for two pawns. This makes the position unclear, rather than clearly better for Black.
It's funny because it seems like the engine has definitely changed its mind on the Qd1 move ... It wants you to take at least stockfish 14 NNUE currently running on lichess ...
Thanks for the vedio but You again did not cover 4..g5 (From Black) it can regain the pawn but there are some points that are a bit confusing it would be a lot better if you cover this line of Budapest Gambit The move order is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.de5 Ng4 4.Bf4 g5
Hi Eric. As black, how do I play a tactical defence against the English? I always end up with boring positions, and they're really not my strong suit! I've used the budapest successfully so far, and only because of your videos!
@Eric Rosen you are a GREAT teacher and a GREAT player! You plays the gambits non only make blah blah blah ion them. You give for FREE a LOT of tinghs. I studied and played Stafford gambit and now I go to Deadly Budapest! THANK YOU! I will support your work sending you a million of dollars, but I hadn't, ah ah. Anyway, I will send you a donation of 10 dollars. How can I do?
8:03 if Bishop takes pawn white cant take g7 pawn its trap black can simply play bishop to e5 trapping queen with different variations white always loses
Late response, i didnt notice the thumbnail but got the move by him saying Ng4 was better, the only difference was control over e3, however, figuring out why Kg3 was even took me much longer lol
I'm an amateur and I would absolutely play knight e4 and if white brings his king to the middle of the board and takes my knight I simply move my pawn to d6, threatening checkmate by moving my bishop to c5
The Budapest is playable only if White starts with d4 and c4, although the moves can come in either order (i.e. 1. c4 Nf6 2. d4 e5 also gets you there). Crafty d-pawn players who don't want to face the Budapest will play something like 2. Nf3 before moving the c-pawn. Then about all you can do is head for a Queen's Gambit or one of the Indian defenses.
all these videos yet I will still never switch to Budapest or even try it! >:) (at least I have some idea how to counter it now and how to avoid traps)
Eric there's an even better game. Let me search and edit real quick. This game is not something better but different where white plays 12.Nd5 instead of 12.Bb2 and Knights are exchanged after Nc3 and castling .
Honestly, I like it when people go for the Budapest when I play d4 (which is basically almost always), I like refuting it. And for the last few days I have won at least 4 games against the Budapest, maybe some of the people who watched Eric's previous videos have played against me :)
Thank you again for making a video about the Budapest Gambit!
My pleasure!
@Samir Nicholas dont need that since I have disney plus
Great videos Eric!
I've a suggetion, would you consider making series of videos on certain openings, like you did with the budapest gambit? I think a lot of people would like that.
Thank you!
At 8:00 if Bxd6 White cant take the pawn on g6 because of Be5. Only square for the Queen would be on G5 then Qxg5 Bxg5 and b2 is hanging so black wins a whole rook
Vg_bacani16 whites Bishop is still guarding the b2 square though so I don’t think that line works in this case right?
@@EITSlover91 if Bxg5 completing the queen trade then the bishop is on g5 leaving b2 hanging
@@EITSlover91 White's bishop is on g5 after the queen trade
+Vg_bacani16 - Bravo! Looks solid to me - I don't see any way to trap Black's Bishop, so it IS a whole Rook. Great line!
True but if the queen doesn’t take the pawn white can still be in a equal position rather than losing
Before I found about this channel I've had 1100 on lichess, now I am 1600 player in less then a 5weeks. Thanks Eric, keep up the good work
This is very great for a class B - A player like me, to surprise my opponent. I'm very fond of your showcase of the Budapest Gambit. Thanks alot Eric, love you!
Just found your content. You are an excellent personality and I am really looking forward each evening to your content after a hard working day.
"this is one of the most ridiculous position i've seen in a while" facts
At 3:16 after Kxe4 Black has Qf4+. Kd3 is forced then Black has Qd4+ with significant advantage. Black loses a little tempo to continue development but White will have to play very accurately to stop the king hunt. d6 frees Black's light squared Bishop which will join the hunt soon with Bd7.

Eric: GREAT analysis! Thanks much!
I love your videos I'm a new player and you've helped me improve so much 😅 understanding chess was so much easier with your videos. definitely going to try the Budapest now!!
Thanks for the study mr. Rosen
Do you even rook lift, bro? 😁
We need to make that into a T-Shirt
a5, Ra6! I love the Budapest
Keep the good stuf going! I like ur analysis of the budpest
You should add video links in the description to your previous Budapest Gambit videos!
Once again really useful. thank you so much. 💥
Super fun and informative videos! Thank you so much for doing these; I've learned so much .

Thanks Eric, another clearly explained video. I especially appreciate the way you explain why such a move is good, planning ahead for the next ones. Something I need to practice !
Really loving these instructional videos
Keep the great content coming❤️
Btw can we get some videos on Scandinavia defense or the scotch game?
At 9:15 Qf3 threatens mate with Qxf7#. If c8+ Black just Rxc8. Black can then defend with f6 or Qf4, but there is still high pressure on White's position and Black is still better with more possibilities- Rd8 grabbing that open file.
That was Great Big EZ, Thank You and as Always, Blessings from Oregon! ... Mike.
Thanks for the content, loving it ! 💙
Thank you so much! This opening got me 2 free points on a tournament and I won in 12 and 17 moves!
17:38 why not block with the bishop (Bf3) threatening the queen and not weakening the kings pawns?
Hello Eric, I enjoy your videos. I am increasingly intrigued with the Budapest Gambit as I confront the Sicilian Attack (?) often. What I’m asking is what is your analysis of the following Budapest Gambit variation?
d4 Nf6
c4 e5
d4xe5 Ng4
Bf4 ...
(Considered from many resources as the “best” response). Now...,
... g5
I’m aware that this move at first appears to weaken black’s kingside but after...,
Bg3 ???
With the semi-retreat of the Bishop white cannot easily coordinate his bishop and knight in an attack/defense of g5. I’ve examined my own analyses and arrived at a tentative conclusion that black’s “g5” move offers great potential for many offensive lines that can diminish white’s initial materiel advantage.
Your analysis would be most welcome! Thanks.
9:30 Beginner question: is qd4 a bad move? It´s attacking f2 covered by the knight, e4 covered by the other knight, c4 by the bishop
Thanks for all your great videos, much appreciated.
What's your opinion on the Fajarowicz variation in the Budapest?
What about at 2:42 Qf4; Kd3 Qd4; Kc2 Qxc4; Kd2 Qxd5? Wherever the white King moves next, you move your Queen and you're up two pawns right?
Yep. I always hit the like button first. His videos always bring a smile.
Eric , u are slightly mistaken in the line
4 Nf3 Bc5 5 e3Nc6 6 Nc3 it is beter to retake on e5 after Black 0-0
Because, if u retake on e5 on move 6...N: e5 7 N: e5 N: e5
Here , White has a possibilty to play f4 driving away the Knight, then as follows,Bd3, Qh5 , castles and Rook lift f3 - h3 with a big attack
So in order to prevent it Black is better to take on e5 after 0-0 and Re8
9:20 the engine seems to prefer Qxc7 and O-O-O after, I guess to start attacking with the rook as well.
Great work on Budapest. Will appreciate some lessons and tricks on End game. Thanks anyway
I was just watching your latest video. You are the best ❤️
That first position is insane. I play the Albin Countergambit against d4 c4 because I’m a terrible player and after seeing an opponent win my Queen with it I wanted to play it, but at my current level nobody falls for that and the Budapest looks interesting… regardless 1..Nf6 seems much better than 1..d5 to me, and it can transpose into KID/Grunfeld/Budapest which are all far more sound than the Albin Countergambit I assume… I’m a d4 player and I hate playing against d4, I’m not sure what to do.
Could you show us what to do if White plays 4.f4 ? I think this move defends the e5 pawn pretty well... I have faced it once and didn't know what to do.
4...Bc5! and Black has plenty of compensation already.
Eric is coolest man ever.
thank you eric, i am already playing the budapest online because of you, but i would like to learn specifically how to punish 4. f4 before adding this to my tournament repertoire. it seems to be ignored everywhere i go!
Nc5 forces white to play e3, then d6 gives black a fine game.
So many videos of the same opening :) maybe you should keep up this trend, focus on an opening for a bit. It’s been fun to watch ! Thank you ive added this opening to my blitz repertoire!
Hi Eric ! Your videos are interesting and very educational can you give us repertoire against d4 using knight f6 ?
I'd recommend studying the Grünfeld, Kings Indian and The benoni - also the nimzo and QGD, but really it depends on where you are in chess rating-wise.
At 18:20 "it's just forced mate from here" ... oh yeah, just an easy little mate in 14: 1. Rg2 Bxg2 2. Bxg2 Rh2 3. Qd2 Reh5 4. Kf1 Rh1+ 5. Bxh1 Rxh1+ 6. Ke2 Rxa1 7. bxa5 Qg2+ 8. Ke3 Rxa3+ 9. Qd3 Qg5+ 10. Ke2 Ra2+ 11. Qc2 Rxc2+ 12. Kd3 Qd2+ 13. Ke4 Rxc4+ 14. Kf5 Qxa5#
That was really informative, thank you very much!
Hey Eric, thanks for the great content.
Can you cover the Latvian Gambit ?
Cheers
At 15:43 I was expecting some long Indian names or something but they turned to be Finnish names (of women btw, a bit unusual in the chess world).
3:20
Here, can't you play Qf4+ forcing Kd3, then Qd4+ forcing Kc2, then Qxc4+? Seems like a good position for black unless I'm missing something
Raging Poo + Black clearly has the better king safety and pawn structure, but White is still 'up' a Knight for two pawns. This makes the position unclear, rather than clearly better for Black.
17:58 the chess plays for itself
I found Qd1+ at 9:27, leaving your queen seemingly undefended is beginner stuff for us 1100s
I found it too but what are you trying to tell me?
What about lines where white keeps the dark square bishop covering h6 from the rook?
very nice videos! any link to studies, I can't find them :-(
Intellectually Honest Rosen.
Wow you like the master of chess opening 😯 Can you do sth crazy like Evans or Danish Gambit next time?
Good video, but can you please upgrade our camera i the near feature?
Thanks Eric. You are really helpful :)
Very good, thanks.
It's funny because it seems like the engine has definitely changed its mind on the Qd1 move ... It wants you to take at least stockfish 14 NNUE currently running on lichess ...
Thanks for the vedio but You again did not cover 4..g5 (From Black) it can regain the pawn but there are some points that are a bit confusing it would be a lot better if you cover this line of Budapest Gambit The move order is
1.d4 Nf6
2.c4 e5
3.de5 Ng4
4.Bf4 g5
takes me back
Hi Eric. As black, how do I play a tactical defence against the English? I always end up with boring positions, and they're really not my strong suit! I've used the budapest successfully so far, and only because of your videos!
I cover an aggressive setup for black in this video: ua-cam.com/video/5sZbjauqa-s/v-deo.html
@Eric Rosen you are a GREAT teacher and a GREAT player! You plays the gambits non only make blah blah blah ion them. You give for FREE a LOT of tinghs. I studied and played Stafford gambit and now I go to Deadly Budapest! THANK YOU! I will support your work sending you a million of dollars, but I hadn't, ah ah. Anyway, I will send you a donation of 10 dollars. How can I do?
after K e4 (2:41) black should play d6 and follow up with B-f5 +
What is the previous video? Can you give name and link?
8:03 if Bishop takes pawn white cant take g7 pawn its trap black can simply play bishop to e5 trapping queen with different variations white always loses
Helped me loads. Thanks
killerayanda in da building baby woah !
Hey Eric, what do you recommend for black after 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. d5 Bc5 4. e3 ?
I have a question... how does he make the red circles and arrows
Alt+click or shift+click two diffrent color
Is there any opening like the budapest against e4???
hi eric, great work as always, why don't you talk about the sicilian defence next time, it's getting more and more common these days.
18:19 I cant find the forced mat :(
Bxf1, Kxf1 Rh1# or if white plays Rg7 Qxg7#
You should do more videos like this one opening like 3 4 vidoes so we could get know everything
You are spoilin' us
How about a line after Ke3 Qxg5, Kxe4 d6! It looks that Kd3 is forced and after Bf5+ Kc3 Qe3+, Kb4 a5+, Kb5 or Ka4 Bd7#
Is this ok?
Kd3 is not forced, g6 could be ...
1:46 No need to pause the video. You already spoiled the solution with the thumbnail.
Late response, i didnt notice the thumbnail but got the move by him saying Ng4 was better, the only difference was control over e3, however, figuring out why Kg3 was even took me much longer lol
Wow what a video
I LOVE YOU ERIC
9:20 Bb4 isn't that force mate?
ZedMix0 Bb4 can be met with Nc3, Bd2 or Nd2
do more Budapest videos
1:09 u let white bishop capture your queen by ne4 then bishop f2 is checkmate
18:20 how is this forced mate?
:) I've seen that Kxe4 at the earlier video but it was so fun that i didn't want to report - Ng4 is much better though :)
9:17 Bi to B4 check
I'm an amateur and I would absolutely play knight e4 and if white brings his king to the middle of the board and takes my knight I simply move my pawn to d6, threatening checkmate by moving my bishop to c5
the bitrate is strong in this one
Budapest is very good for club players
Easy to learn
All we need is to know the main line with 4 Bf4
Eric Rosen and The Budapest Gambit. Name a better duo
Is budapest playable against e4?
I don't think anyone would play f4 to Nimzovitch.
The Budapest is playable only if White starts with d4 and c4, although the moves can come in either order (i.e. 1. c4 Nf6 2. d4 e5 also gets you there). Crafty d-pawn players who don't want to face the Budapest will play something like 2. Nf3 before moving the c-pawn. Then about all you can do is head for a Queen's Gambit or one of the Indian defenses.
09:18 I found Qd1+ then king takes then Nxf2+++😂
that's the first time chess notation has ever made me laugh out loud!
Looks like you're using a weird bird's filter for the video. Nice one anyways :)
all these videos yet I will still never switch to Budapest or even try it! >:) (at least I have some idea how to counter it now and how to avoid traps)
Ke3 1:55
Wow 2200 and he blunders a while bishop, just leaves it hanging. Makes me feel better lol
This is great, but noone ever seems to play 2. c4 against me
Me too!
No, there mate in two
Eric Rosen umm... Could help me with my English Opening Traps
Can you please explain how to play black after
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. d5 Bc5 4. e3
uwu nice mr.eric i like your video more gambit (sicilian defense dragon variation) please (yes i pick it cuz the name)
Eric there's an even better game. Let me search and edit real quick.
This game is not something better but different where white plays 12.Nd5 instead of 12.Bb2 and Knights are exchanged after Nc3 and castling .
