The Budapest is ambitious?  I'm not sure that I agree with that.  Ambitious for the half point, maybe.  Oh all right, the Fajarowicz I will concede is ambitious.


I agree. I think the Budapest is annoyingly solid. I have tried to find some lines with a sizeable advantage, but haven't succeeded.
What is Black meant to fear the most?

The book is out now. Did someone buy it? What do you think of it?
  
Yusupov once said that “The problem with the Dutch Defence is that later in many positions the best move would be ...f5-f7” but he is surely wrong.

Adding to what TN says, there is the Moskalenko book and I can't believe that Taylor can write a better book than the Moskalenko book

I wouldn't get too excited over this book. If you look at his previous books 'Bird's Opening' and 'Beating the King's Indian and Grunfeld', his analysis sometimes contains holes (as reviewers have shown), and he also has a tendency to exclude some (not all) of the most critical variations against his recommendations. 

If the books were aimed at players below club level, this would be forgivable, but given that these books are aimed at several levels of players, these holes and oversights reduce the quality of his books. 

By the way, his latest book 'True Combat Chess' was also labelled by one prominent reviewer (I have forgotten who) as being of little use to club players.

Hopefully this book will be a refreshing improvement over his previous tomes.

The Budapest Gambit
Timothy Taylor 
The Budapest Gambit is an ambitious and adventurous opening for Black, who offers a pawn as early as the second move in return for active and rapid development. It has always been a particular favourite at club level, where it still provides a surprise weapon, but it has also been utilized with success by top-class Grandmasters.

In this book Timothy Taylor offers an in-depth study of the Budapest Gambit and its many variations. Using illustrative games, Taylor presents up-to-date analysis of the theory, makes recommendations on the best options for Black and White, and covers the typical plans for both sides. This book provides everything you need to know about this fascinating opening.

*Covers both the main lines and tricky deviations

*Highlights crucial tactical and positional ideas

*Packed with original analysis.

Published July 2009 EU, August 2009 US | ISBN 9781857445923
Format Paperback, 192 pages
