| Jan-05-04 | | Whitehat1963: Wow, Rubinstein takes a brutal beating here. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 21.Kh4 was a mistake. What about 21.Kf3? Black has then draw in hand (21...Nd2+ etc.) but I don't see anything better. Instead of 14...Ne4 black could play 14...g5!! 15.Bg3 (15.Bxg5 Ne4  ) 15...Ne4 16.Qc2 Qa5+ 17.Ke2 (17.Kd1 Rxf2 18.Bxf2 Bg4+ 19.Be2 Nxf2#) 17...Rxf2+ 18.Bxf2 Bg4+ 19.Kd3 Qa3+ 20.Kxe4 Re8+ 21.Kd5 c6#. |
|
| Feb-18-04 | | Calli: 14...g5!! -- A beautiful variation! Thanks, Honza |
|
| Jul-18-04 | | uzeromay: Furthermore, in Honza's variation, if 17. Kd1 Rxf2 18. Be2 Bg4 and White can't take Black's Bishop, Rook or Knight. |
|
| Nov-15-04 | | notyetagm: Even very strong players (Rubinstein) lose when they get their king stuck in the middle of the board. |
|
| Nov-24-04 | | kostich in time: This is Vidmars most famous win, it may not be his most characteristic game.Reti, in Masters of the Chessboard,speaks of Vidmars "lucidity and technical perfection"..this is a very sharp game, though far from flawless..there is little "technical perfection" here.
According to Soltis, there is an entertaining story associated with this game. Vidmar had arrived early, and he was in despair about what he should play against the " High priest" of d4. A Hungarian master who was present asked him whether he had heared of the Budapest Defense. Vidmar said no. The Hungarian gave him afive minute tutorial on the defense. Vidmar promptly played it and won. |
|
| Nov-24-04 | | ughaibu: As Rubinstein declined the repetition on move 21 I guess he thought he was winning?! |
|
| Feb-05-05 | | hkannan2000: For Vidmar's another famous game : Vidmar - Euwe, where vidmar brings off a beautiful mate from nowhere, just when he was on the verge of losing. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: The losing move is 13.e3. Rubinstein was probably concerned about his lack of development, but 13.f3! intending e4 is best. He probably didn't think Vidmar would strengthen White's pawn structure with ...Nxd4. |
|
| Feb-05-05 | | RisingChamp: This game inspired the other participants of the tournament to play the Budapest against Rubinstein who managed only one draw from three white games. |
|
| May-11-05 | | niemzo: <Honza Cervenka> After 21. Kf3 h5! follows.then after 22. h3 h4 23.rd1 ng5+ 24. fxg5 be4+ 25.ke3 qxg5+ with a winning attack for black |
|
| May-11-05 | | niemzo: 11.qd2 isnt very good as it allows ne4 with greater force ("the budapest gambit" by bogdan lalic) |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | GeauxCool: Vidmar dropped out of chess to become an electrical engineer and later physicist. His son jr. is a chess master. His style was ecclectic. -Fine |
|
| Sep-04-06 | | erimiro1: <kostich in time> I also read the story in one of Czerniak books. Czerniak told, that this was the birth of the Budapest gambit. Rubinstein was completely surprised (as we can see by the game), and the Hungarian master who taught Vidmar was Abony. |
|
| Sep-04-06 | | Ziggurat: <Czerniak told, that this was the birth of the Budapest gambit.> The way I've heard, it was Breyer who introduced the Budapest gambit in a game Esser-Breyer (Budapest 1916). Of course there may be even earlier occurrences but it wasn't Vidmar who was first. |
|
| Oct-04-07 | | hesyrett: <Honza Cervenka> Yes, the repetition at move 21 (which I can't believe Rubinstein declined--21.Kh4?? is suicidal) cost me points in "Guess the Move". I didn't guess 19...Nd2+ because I couldn't see any effective continuation after 20.Kg3, apart from the draw by repetition. Since I knew that Black had won, I drew the logical but incorrect conclusion that Black's 19th could NOT have been Nd2+. Can someone with an analysis engine tell me what the Silicon Monster thinks Black's best 19th move is? Would Fritz consider it drawn with best play from that point? |

| | Peligroso Patzer: <Whitehat1963: Wow, Rubinstein takes a brutal beating here.> He does, indeed, but I suppose it could have been worse. I looked up this game because it matches the reference (with no indication that the position comes from a variation, rather than the actual game) for position #12 in "Sharpen Your Tactics" by Lein and Archangelsky (Hays Publishing 1996, at page 12). The position given in that book would have come about if, after 5. ... Bb4+, the game had continued 6. Nbd2 Qe7 7. a3 Ngxe5 8. axb4?? ... after which Black has 8. ... Nd3#. I could not believe that Rubinstein could have fallen into such a checkmate - and apparently he didn't - but losing with White in 24 moves is still a rather stunningly poor performance from the great Akiba. |

| Jul-07-08 | | myschkin: <Zigg> <This was probably the first Budapest between elite players, and it passed with flying colors. Rubinstein held the gambit pawn with 4.Bf4 and 7.Qd5, but his neglect of kingside development was severely punished.>
(D. Monokroussos)

| Sep-04-08 | | notyetagm: This game must be the best advertisement for the the Budapest Defense. |
|
| Jun-22-09 | | WhiteRook48: even though 8...Qa3 looked like a mistake |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | asiduodiego: Maybe Rubinstein thought that after 21. Kf3, Vidmar would play something like 21... Bg4+?. Which is a mistake, but leads to a very dangerous line for white, altough it can be defended (Of course not 22 Ke3??, Nc5++). After 22 Kxg4 h5+, 23 Kd3 Nd2+, 24 Kg3+ Qf5, 25 f3! h4+, 26 Kf2 Qxf4 Re1!. And white is winning, but almost any other line is losing for white. For example, 25 h3??, leads to 25... h4+!, 26 Kh2 Qxf4+, 27 Kg1 Rf8, 28 f3 Qe3+ 29 Kh2 Qf2!, and white will have to give up the Queen. Almost any other line leads to lose the Queen or mate, so I think it's posible that Rubinstein just miscalculated that line. |
|
| Sep-30-10 | | tranquilsimplicity: This is to Kostich in Time; with regards to "that evening" when Rubinstein met Vidmar, the master that tutored Vidmar was Istvan Abonyi who was a Hungarian Chess Master and one of the founding members of FIDE. |
|
| Feb-01-11 | | KingG: <notyetagm> <This game must be the best advertisement for the the Budapest Defense.>
I don't know, this game is pretty good too : Oll vs A Romero Holmes, 1984. |
|
| May-01-11 | | bolek88: if 16's not Ke2 but: 16.Kd1 Bf5 17.Bd3 Nxf2+ 18.Qxf2 Bxd3 19.Qd2 Qxd2+ 20.Kxd2 Be4 - is any better variant for black ?
...
(16.Kd1 g5(Honza's move) 17.Qxe4 Bf5- not satisfy me) |
