Nov-29-24  WhoKeres: Not often you see a faux Queen sacrifice as part of a repetition of position draw. Opocensky plays the Budapest Gambit as well as possible in this game and gets a hard earned draw with GM Vidmar.
Dec-01-24  FM David H. Levin: I think that after 19...Nd3, White could have obtained a big advantage by 20. e4.

This seems to force <20...Qg5> (Intending 21. Bxd6 Qe3+ [If now 22. Kh1, then 22...Nf2+ 23. Rxf2 Qxc3, winning.] 22. Rf2 Qxf2+ 23. Kh1 cxd6, when Black is still breathing.) <21. Qxc7> (Intending 21...Qe3+ 22. Kh1 Rd7 23. Qc2, protecting the e2-bishop.) <21...Rd7 22. Qc2>, when White has the two bishops and an extra pawn. <22...Qxb5> at this point would lose to <23. Kh1!> (Avoiding simplification by 23...Qc5+.), threatening 24. Rad1.
