The basic position of the Fajarowicz gambit after 3.… Nf6 – e4
The Fajarowicz Gambit is a variant of the Budapest Gambit , an opening in the game of chess . It is classified in the opening system of the ECO codes under the key A51.
It arises according to the sequence of moves ( see also: chess notation )
- 1. d2-d4 Ng8-f6
- 2. c2 – c4 e7 – e5 (the Budapest Gambit)
- 3. d4xe5 Nf6 – e4 ?!
The gambit was named after Sammi Fajarowicz , who introduced it to tournament practice in 1928. Kurt Richter liked to use it. With accurate play, the white man can gain a certain advantage, since 3.… Nf6 – e4, unlike 3.… Nf6 – g4, does not attack the e5 pawn. (Instead, Black often has to resolve the outpost e5 by swapping pawns for d7 – d6 or f7 – f6.) However, since this exact game is very difficult to implement in practice and can lead to great entanglements, the Fajarowicz gambit is nowadays - especially in the amateur field - still to be found.
Several white continuations attack the centralized knight e4. In the premiere of the Fajarowicz gambit, Herman Steiner - Sammi Fajarowicz , Wiesbaden 1928, 4. Qd1 – c2 happened. 4. Qd1 – c2 is therefore called the Steiner Variation. 4.… Bf8 – b4 + is considered the best. 4.… d7 – d5 5. e5xd6 ep Bc8 – f5 with the threat of withdrawal 6.… Ne4 – g3 7. Qc2 – a4 + Bf5 – d7 shows a different motif. 6. d6xc7 Qd8xc7 and Nb8 – c6 make it easier for Black to cast long .
Max Blümich used 4. Qd1 – d5. 4. Qd1-d3 aims at Qd3-g3. 4. Nb1 – d2 was Alekhine 's favorite answer. 4. a2 – a3 prevents Bf8 – b4 +. This is why Black is aiming for a place for his bishop on d6 with 4.… d6.
Well-known traps are:
- 3. dxe5 Ne4 4. a3 d6! 5. exd6 ?! Bxd6 6. Nf3 ?? (6. e3) Nxf2! 7. Kxf2 Bg3 +! - +
- 3. dxe5 Ne4 4. Nf3 b6 5. Qd5 Bb7? 6. Qxb7 Nc6 7. Qa6? (7.Nd4! Bb4 + 8.Nc3!) Bb4 + 8. Bd2 Nc5 9. Qb5 Bxd2 + 10. Nbxd2 a6
