Finally! Hope you people enjoy this game!

Wow! cool game dude!

I have never seen such a brilliant sacrifice victory--a great game!

makes you wonder...how many turns do they think ahead if he can see that lol, im lucky if i know whos go it is

That game is a freak of nature...Love it!! thanks

dazmonduck, the black player didn't need to see that many moves ahead there was no need to calcuate much.  All he had to do was realize that he would have four and potentially five of his pieces attacking the enemy king and even though white has some pieces in the area they are not "really" defending the king.  four (or five) pieces against a king MUST be good, as long as the enemy doesn't have anything in return, and I don't think he does.

Thanks all for your encouraging comments. Anyway, yeah tbirdbird is quite right. Even IMs can't really see that far away, for e.g. in this game calculating all the way to the end. In fact, if White played the most accurate moves, Black could only get a draw! So, its more of attacking instinct rather than pure massive calculation. Sometimes you just look at the position, "realize you have many pieces potentially attacking the opponent king" and then go in for the kill!

thank u much for this article. i never knew this opening before and am quite excited to play this since i enjoy playing gambits..

This was a good lesson of putting all your pieces in move, as soon as you can. After that surely you will have many good combinations to make a very good game. For me that was a little risky to sacrifice the Queen so early but it worked very well!

Nice to hear that Kira! All the best in your future Budapest endeavours! =)

Wow that's one of the greatest upsets I've seen.

 

I wish I could play like that.  This game reminds me of the famous Tal brilliancy where he sacrifices his queen to similar, astonishing effect.  The position was much different, but my jaw dropped all the same.   :D

its entertaining...

Hmmm.. just a survey- What would you all like to see next? Another wild attacking game? Or a quiet positional, subtle game? Perhaps tactics? Or puzzles?

This game remember me "The game of the century" match between Donald Byrne and Bobby Fischer on October 17th, 1956.

 

Most coincidentally, this very game which I have annotated has been published in a british chess magazine (whose name i cannot remember at present), and annotated by a good friend of Ashot! (just some background, both ashot and wu are trainers at my country)

 

The annotator, if you've heard about him before, is IM Tibor Karolyi, a well known trainer who gives really good opening preparation! Anyway, he described Ashot as "Kasparov's half brother", stating the similarities between them, such as their readiness to take risks (especially in Kasparov's earlier chess life!). It's a very good article and he delved into many more alternatives than myself. Perhaps you might want to see it and some other really crazy games when Ashot wins with his wing attacks against some other very good players!

 

Will provide the name and edition next time =)

That was awesome, great annotation as well.

Wonderful yaar

That was truly an awesome game.

You must be lucky to have them as trainers in your country!  Proves how much you can achieve if you make no more than one pawn move in the opening!  And lots of piece moves.  But Budapest is not for everyone. 

Haha, yeah, I'm really happy to have such trainers who have such amazing games! But yeah, not everyone can play the Budapest, those who prefer more solid games should stick to the other main lines I guess.

nice game

 

Great combination and a good tactical from the blacks!!!
