  The Budapest Gambit (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e5) is an underrated system which leads to lively play and attacking chances for Black. The positional justification, establishing a strong knight on e5 is well-founded and attempts at refutation have been unconvincing. The author provides original analyses and over 30 illustrative games which allow the reader to get a feel for the types of middle game positions which arise. The Fajarowicz Gambit (3 de Ne4) is also covered. International Master Otto Borik is a former West German champion who played in the 1978 Olympiad team. He is editor of the chess magazine 64 . This book is part of the Batsford Gambit Series which has been designed to meet the needs of the competitive player. Each volume deals with a particular opening and the early attempts to obtain sharp and interesting play by a pawn sacrifice. All the authors are International Masters and Grandmasters.
