My usual 1. Nf3 has been replaced by this more flexible move in this game. The main reason for the change is that I can reach many of my well studied openings by transposition and at the same time can avoid the Classical Kings Indian, which has built up a ton of theory. Not only that, but by playing either the Saemisch or the Hungarian Attack (as in this game) I am able to generate a kingside attack with the white pieces. Enjoy! |

Black responds with a flexible move of his own. |

2. Nc3
|
Keeping my options open with the king's knight, but also preparing an anti-Grunfeld move order. |

|
|
|
2... g6
|
Black is heading for the KID or the Grunfeld. |

Here is another benefit to this move order is that it stops your opponents well studied Grunfeld!! |

3... d6

White now has the choice of lines. |

The main move of the Hungarian attack. The knight will go to g3 to protect the e-pawn and white will launch the h-pawn. |

6...c5 is also good and leads to different types of opening positions. |

White wants to keep the center closed so as to play on the kingside. |

Black moves to stifle white's queenside ambitions, however, the blow will come from the other wing. |

Stopping the h-pawn in its tracks, but creating a weakness on the g5-square which white now exploits with... |

Intending to bring the knight to c5, however, this will not provide any counterplay as the e-pawn is already doubly protected. The better plan is to attack the white center with ...c6 or to play ...Qe8 followed by ...Nh7. |

Taking aim at the h5-pawn for a typical Hungarian tactic. |

10... Nc5 11. Bxh5
|
White will now either win a pawn or ramp up pressure on the pinned piece with Nxh5 and Qf3. |

Tantamount to resignation. |

Black resigns. Not a very flashy ending, but an interesting idea in an under-rated blitz opening. |
