History
This gambit was first met in the party of M. Adler - G. Maroci in 1896 in Budapest . Subsequently, it was investigated in detail by the Hungarian masters I. Abony , J. Baras and D. Breyer . At first it was a great practical success, however, 2 victories of A.A. Alekhine in 1925 for a long time undermined the reputation of the debut. Currently, the Budapest Gambit is considered, to one degree or another, as a fairly correct way of playing for blacks, but it is very risky. In games of grandmasters at the highest level is rare.
