I went from 1200 to 1400 rated in a month after watching mio’s videos after being stuck at 1200 for 2 years! Thanks big mio!!

This guy speaks Chess fluently:)

It took me a long time to digest this video because there are so many creative, tactical ideas in the opening. Now I'm in love with the Fajarowicz Gambit. It is amazing how often you win a queen or get a spectacular kingside attack. It's beautiful. Thank you, Mio.

Just discovered this channel, and I'm very impressed! Excellent content. Thank you.

My first blitz game after watching this video ended in 7 moves (4. f3 Bb4+ 5. Bd2 Qh5+ 6. g3 Nxg3 7. Bxb4 Ne4# :-) Thank you !!! Priceless :-)

Marvellous openning ! Good job and thank's a lot !

I just tried this an hour ago in rapid game. Opponent played the qc2 line, I got a great game but blundered a big advantage and lost. Just need to polish my technique. The lines are great!

A very good basis to start studying the opening. Thank You.

Another gem of a video!

Great opening for Black to add to our repertoire!! Thanks for the wonderful explanation!!

Very cool video! :-) My favourite move after 4.a3 is 4...Qh4, but 4...b6 is mentioned by Moskalenko as the best move. Who knows, but anyway very interesting gambit.

Excellent Very informative Extremely entertaining. Enjoyed watching. Thank you

Great video - really well explained

Top. Thanks Mio

Very beautiful! Thanks.

He's back !!!!

Thanks, I really enjoyed it😊 brings back childhood memories when I studied the Fajarowicz-Richter-Gambit 😊 Unfortunately Black has (serious) problems after 4.a3! 😓 A) The 4. ...b6 line (+= | +/-) is a bit slow, but probably the best, trying to fish in muddy waters. Unfortunately 5.Nf3 Bb7 6.Nbd2 a5 (deviations do not look pleasant as well) 7.Nxe4 Bxe4 8.Bf4 are good and natural moves for White. B) Unfortunately the problem with 4. ...d6, which is in the spirit of this gambit, or 5. ...d6 (4. ...Nc6 first), is the antidote Qc2! B1) 4. ...d6 5.Qc2! d5 (a3 was a free useful move compared to 4.Qc2 d5 (4. ...Bb4+!)) 6.e3! Bf5 7.Nc3 sad times for Black who will end up in practically hopeless positions. B2) 4. ...Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Qc2! d5 (6. ...Bf5 7.Nc3!; 6. ...Nc5 7.b4!) 7.e3! sad times again for Black who will probably lose after 7. ...Bf5 8.Bd3 or 7. ...Bg4 8.exd5 Qxd5 9.Bc4. I would love to play the Richter Gambit in tournament games though it is hard to make it work in times of Stockfish etc., when all the good old lines and suggestions - Gutman (2004) and Moskalenko (2007) - seem to sort of fall apart 😔 But nonetheless, thank you!! 😊

J'aime beaucoup ce gambit ! Il est bien pour surprendre et peut-être utilisé comme arme principale . Moins risqué que le gambit de Budapest et le contre-gambit Albin . Le pion d4 est un poison dans l'Albin et ici, c'est le cavalier en e4 qui contrarie les blancs . D'où les variantes avec b6 qui me plaisent . Merci Mio pour ton excellente pédagogie .

Great video, as usual. Just one remark: you mention a 'Karl Richter' a few times, but isn't his name 'Kurt Richter' ? (Kurt Paul Otto Joseph Richter, to be exact). Love your work!

Karl Richert was a famous musician especially known for his interpretation of works by Bach and Händel. The famous "romantic" chess player was Kurt Richter (Kurt Paul Otto Joseph Richter) who lived from 1900-1969. His nickname was Scharfrichter von Berlin (headsman of Berlin).

Thanks a lot

Best advanced chess Channel..

Amazing thing, good job! Just donated for that!

Opening starts at 3:16 5:00 f3 - bad idea for white! 6:48 🐎C3 - bad idea too 9:03 👸d4 10:20 d3 13:38 👸d5 17:44 Main lines: 21:19 👸c2

Hi Mio. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning new dynamic things which help me to improve my chess. Therefor I want to ask you a question about the Budapest in general: As we have seen that the Fajarowicz variation of the Budapest Gambit is verymuch playable which means that Whites well score doesent mean anything if we know what we are doing. Does the same thing exist also for the main Line (Ng4)? I ask this because if I start playing a sideline of an Opening I normally look also at the main Line (because consider a main Line to be a save Option besides the other Lines which I could chose). But looking at Ng4 im not so sure. Mainly because of Yasser Seirawans "Bust to the Budapest" which goes like this: d4 Nf6 c4 e5 dxe5 Ng4 Bf4 Nc6 Nf3 Bb4+ Nc3 Bxc3+ bxc3 Qe7 Qd5 f6 exf6 Nxf6 Qd3 d6 g3! Ne4 Bg2 0-0 0-0 Nc5 Qe3 Be6 Nd4 Bxc4 Nxc6 Qxe3 Bxe3 bxc6 Bxc5 dxc5 Bxc6 and a probably lost ending for black arises. Of course there are many diviations but I didnt find anything similar to your Lines in this Variation yet. Because of this I kind of think that this Line is close to being refuted or just really bad... After all I am a gambit player and I like the Budapest but I can only hope that Ng4 is playable. If you have some new Ideas there It would be nice if you could share them with us.

Will you make one for the Ng4 variation ?? Also, I used to play Budapest but in tournaments many people get scared and play moves like e3 in order to avoid the gambit, so what I do in those positions ?

Thanks for time codes)

finally something i can use against london system and queens gambit

Thank you for this great overview on the Fajarowicz Variation! But the name of Richter is not Karl, his name is Kurt Richter. "Der Scharfrichter von Berlin", also to mention is Richter-Rauzer oder Richter-Weresov-Variations. He played the French like Anderssen. But Eliskases or Stahlberg crushed him in the French.

Hvala i na ovom materijalu. Nakon odgledanih nekoliko snimaka mogu da kažem da je po meni najveći kvalitet materijala,veliki broj taktičkih trikova u svakom snimku.Pravo blago bi bilo sakupiti ih sve u jedan materijal....Pozdrav..

E a minha abertura mortal aqui no Brasil!

In the ...b6 Line, after Black castles, I play Qc2 and Nc3 (with the idea of a later Nd5 after ...f5) before castling, and black should not have too much fun any more. :-)

Hi Miodrag. I've stopped to play the Fajbecause of 2.Nf3 ... any aggressive suggestion for Black ?

What are your thoughts on the albin counter gambit ?

Thanks a lot for your vidéo. How to get lines ?

What if white declines the gambit? Please show the variations that can arise.

I think Fajarowicz is a better version of Englund gambit) In Englund the same trick d6 sack a pawn, take back bd6, move Qe7 orf6, bishop and castle long) This Fajarowicz is definetely worth a try) But , logically, how Black should respond on the 2 Nf3 Maybe , Kings indian?

why wasn't Nxe7 explored at the 16 minute mark seems good that white has that unopposed bishop

I Check mated one opponent in 7 moves. Thanks

So many nice ideas. I bought the book of moskalenko but fara gambit is not well covered . I studied this video every month! I am just 1800 but I like yr idea that usually opponent is not prepared on this line.

Nice video. Thank you very much. However in my opinion there is an error in the 4Qd5 Bb4+ line. Indeed 9..b6 ? 10.Nd4 Bb7 11.Nf5 ! +/-

I can't find the pgn on the Fajarocz gambit?

Can we see a video about how to beat 1. d4 nf6 2. e3 nf3??

I play this opening constantly with my best friend but after a3, Pbd2, Dc2 / i have to confess, i have a rather tough game

What's your blitz rating ?

Sami Fajarowicz was my father's cousin but sadly he and his parents were killed in the holocaust.

What to play against 3. d5?

J

Not Karl but Kurt Paul Otto Richter!

so this guy lost to the Botez sisters?

Thank you so much for the videos on the Fajarowicz! I managed to beat GM Bogdan Lalić in an online simul with your videos as prep! I thought it was important to get into a level playing field, and I knew he played against Indian systems as white from the database, with only 4 games v.s. the Budapest and none v.s. the Fajarowicz. It's as Tal said, "You must take your opponent into a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." Here's the game: www.chess.com/live/game/5798082184 Once again, thank you so much!

with a3 move from white black is busted , this opening is very bad. Counting from oponent simple mistakes is bad aproach.

This opening sux. It is only for chess 'pirates' that are willing to risk an unsound opening hoping that the opponent will be unfamiliar with it because it is rare. 4.a3 is the death of the Fajarowicz. I have every book written on this opening and spent months and a lot of computer time trying to rehab this line. Yeah u might get a lot of tactical wins against noobs but it won't take you past 2000 at best. This opening is primarily for blitz hustlers playing for money against fish. Once the fish proves he can bust this the hustler may try another fishbuster like the Grob. Grow up and play real stuff. The ONLY good thing about the Fajarowicz is that, like every opening, it will teach you many ideas. Every opening has SOMETHING to teach you.
