Eine der Hauptstellungen im Budapester Gambit. Ein besonderes Merkmal in
dieser Variante ist, dass diese Stellung sehr oft mit verschiedenen
Zugumstellungen aufs Brett kommt. Und entweder im 13. oder 14. Zug erreicht
wird (hängt von dem Tusch der Springer auf e5 oder f3 ab; ähnlich wie im
Sveshnikov in Sizilianisch).  Dazu eine praktische "technische" Anmerkung: Wer
diese Variante studieren will, soll lieber "Search boardposition" /"Suche
Brettstellung" als "Find novelty"/ "Neuerung finden" für die Datenbank-Suche

{Levon Aronian looked like the strongest player in the early stages of the
candidates, but strange things seemed to be happening in this extraordinary
tournament, and he did not look the same player in the second half of the
event.   Perhaps the bright spot for him during this period was his win
against Ivanchuk, a game which kept his hopes of qualifiying alive, and
against a player whom he also beat in the first half.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 {
Some might be surprised by Ivanchuk's adoption of the Budapest Gambit, an
opening that is rarely seen at the top level, in such a strong event. But he
has played this opening before, and anyway as is very well known, Ivanchuk can
play pretty much anything! In general the mercurial Ukranian genius seemed to
have a laid-back approach to this tournament, when asked at one press
conference who he was playing tomorrow, he threw his hands up and confessed he
didn't know! But at times he was too laid-back, as we shall see.} 3. dxe5 Ng4
4. Nf3 Nc6 5. Bf4 Bb4+ 6. Nc3 {As is typical of Aronian, he plays the most
ambitious move. Besides, the tournament situation demanded that he kept the
position on the board as unbalanced as possible.} ({White is also slightly
better after} 6. Nbd2 Qe7 7. e3 Ngxe5 8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. Be2 {with very little
risk of losing, which is probably one of the reasons why the popularity of
this opening has never really caught on.}) 6... Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Qe7 8. Qd5 $1 {

Bg4 13. O-O Rae8 14. Rae1 {Aronian deviates from an earlier game in this
variation. This move is played not so much to push the e-pawn, but to protect
e2 so as to make Nd4 possible.} (14. Rab1 $5 b6 15. Rbe1 Kh8 16. Bg5 Bxf3 17.

Germany 2010. In general I have my doubts about Black's prospects in this line.
After all not only is White a pawn up, but he has the two bishops as well! And
while the black pieces can find very natural and good squares, I'm not sure
this fully compensates for the pawn. In addition I like the fact that White
has an extra pawn on the kingside - his king is ultra safe, in contrast to his
opposing number, a consideration that becomes highly important later in the
game.}) 14... Kh8 15. Nd4 $6 {A logical continuation of the previous move, but
this allows Black to defuse some of the white initiative.} ({I believe it made

reducing the c4-pawn to a permanent weakness, after which it would be very
hard for White to generate any play} dxc5 (16... d5 17. Bxc7 Qxc5 18. Rb1 b6

massively favour White, as now he has a four vs two majority on the kingside,

decisive. It's important to note as well that} Bc4 $2 {is not possible because

the situation on the queenside and saying to White - I'm going to attack your
queenside weakies, what are you going to do about it? Perhaps White is still
better from a theoretical point of view, but now I would almost rather play
Black, as his play seems much easier, just attack the weak white queenside
pawns somehow. But of course Aronian is not 2800 for nothing, and it is
exactly in such dangerous situations that his considerable practical skills
come to the fore.} 20. Rd1 Nb6 $1 {Aronian wanted to lure the knight to c5,
but of course Ivanchuk has instead the logical aim of simply eating the
c4-pawn.} 21. Rd3 Qc5 22. Qh4 {Unhappy with the way things are developing on
the queenside, Aronian makes what turns out to be a highly successful decision,
that is to burn all his bridges and put all his faith in a kingside attack.
His decision was perhaps also guided by the fact that Ivanchuk was becoming
extremely short of time, hardly a rare event for him in this tournament, as he
lost on time I believe on a remarkable six occasions! Possibly he became so
absorbed in these epic battles that he lost sight of something so basic as a
chess clock.} g6 23. Be4 Kg7 24. Kg2 Qxc4 {With this move, Ivanchuk is also
crossing the Rubicon.} (24... Rf7 $1 {was perhaps simplest of all. A
multi-purpose move, this keeps an eye on the f2-pawn, while also preparing a
lateral defence of the h7-point. It would be very difficult for White to build
up an attack then.} 25. Rf3 Qxc4 26. Rxf7+ Qxf7 {and Black could look forward
to the future with great confidence.}) 25. Rfd1 Qxa2 $1 {The most principled

dangerous intention of bringing the rook to h3. Aronian felt quite happy with
the situation now, as although Black is still ok, the position is becoming
very sharp and any mis-step could prove fatal.} Rf4 ({It was also possible to
return with} 26... Qc4 $5 {which leads to the fun line} 27. g5 Kg8 28. Rh3 Re7
29. Rd6 $1 {when White has generated quite dangerous threats, that are not

opportunities. Now the threat is Rd7, with a mating attack.} Nd5 $1 (27... gxf5

{[%mdl 516]} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 {Kagan: Eine erst vor kurzem von dem
ungarischen Schachmeister Abonyi erfundene, in Budapester Schachkreisen
analysierte Spielweise, die in der Schachliteratur den Namen "Budapester
Partie" erhalten hat. Rubinstein musste dreimal gegen diese neue Eröffnung in
Berlin antreten und erzielte 1/2 Punkte aus 3 Partien. Es wird die Geschichte
erzählt, dass Vidmar vor seiner Partie Abonyi um Rat fragte, was er gegen
Rubinsteins 1.d4 spielen soll. Nach einer kurzen Einführung wählte Vidmar
sofort mit Erfolg die neue Eröffnung. Nach dem Turnier forderte Rubinstein
den Turniersieger Vidmar, gegen den er beide Partien verloren hatte, zu einem
Wettkampf heraus, zu dem es aber leider nicht gekommen ist.} 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Bf4

Mehrbauern zu verteidigen, in die Tat umgesetzt. Schwarz kann keine weiteren
Kräfte heranführen, die den Druck auf den Bauern verstärken könnten. Der
Breyer-Plan ...b7-b6, gefolgt von ...Lb7, hilft hier nicht, da Weiß den
Springer von g4 vertreiben kann: Nach 7...b6 8.h3! Nh6 (im Gegensatz zur
Breyer-Partie steht der h-Bauer nicht auf h5 sondern noch auf h7) 9.Bxh6 gxh6
10.Rc1! besitzt Weiß das bessere Spiel. Aber erst einmal ist Schwarz am Zug,
und er hat seine eigenen Pläne, ein Gegenspiel einzuleiten.} Bxc3+ 8. bxc3 {
[%csl Ra2,Ga3,Rc3,Rc4,Gc5,Re2,Re5][%cal Ge7a3] Diese kritische Stellung war
1918 und ist bis heute eine der Schlüsselstellungen des Budapester Gambits.
Weiß hat den Mehrbauern verteidigt, aber zu welchem Preis! Je einen
Doppelbauern auf der c- und auf der e-Linie; vereinzelte, schwache Bauern auf
der a- und c-Linie; der Damenflügel ist geschwächt - einer Invasion der
schwarzen Figuren ist dort Tür und Tor geöffnet; der König steht im Zentrum
und Weiß braucht mindestens zwei Züge, bevor er rochieren kann (Schwarz hat
dagegen alles für die Rochade vorbereitet). Die weiße Dame im Zentrum ist ein
leichtes Ziel für die Angriffe schwarzer Figuren und Weiß wird für ihre
Sicherheit einige Tempi aufwenden müssen. Das also ist die Kompensation für
den geopferten Bauern. Vidmar mußte nun allerdings herausfinden, wie er den
für sich größten Nutzen aus der Situation herausholen konnte.} Qa3 {[%cal

den Turm a1 gewinnt Schwarz Zeit.} 9. Rc1 ({Nach} 9. Qd2 Qe7 {[%cal Ge7e5] 10.

c-Linie aber bleiben bestehen. Nach ...0-0, ...d6, ...b6 und eventuell ...Le6
spielt Schwarz ohne eigenes Risiko auf die weißen Schwächen.}) 10. Qd5 Qa3 11.

opferte den Bauern und hofft, seinen Entwicklungsvorsprung für einen Angriff
auf den gegnerischen König nutzen zu können.} ({Lange Zeit galt} 9... Qxa2 {
als verdächtig, da der schwarze Königsflügel nach den Zügen} 10. h3 Nh6 {
[%cal Rf4h6,Ga7a5,Ga5a4,Ga4a3] zur Schwäche neigen könnte, aber Analysen von
Glaskov und Tseitlin haben neue Möglichkeiten für ein schwarzes Gegenspiel
aufgezeigt. Ihre Hauptidee ist der Vormarsch des a-Bauern nach a4, gefolgt von
...Ta5 mit Angriff auf e5; währenddessen findet Weiß nicht genügend Zeit,
Nutzen aus dem geschwächten schwarzen Königsflügel zu ziehen; zum Beispiel:}

Variante mit 4.Bf4 und 6.Nc3 im Grunde genommen nicht als Gambit bezeichnet
werden. Diese Variante demonstriert dagegen eindrucksvoll, wie Schwarz
gegnerische Bauernschwächen (hier e5, c3, c4 und a2) für den Rückgewinn eines
