We conclude with the words of Max Euwe: "The Fajarowicz-Knight creates latent threats along the a5-e1 diagonal and, in conjunction with the consequent gambit continuation d7-d6 or d7-d5, may well make white's development more difficult". And if white play first 4.Bf4 then 4.Nc6 5.f3 (the threat of 5.Qh4+ is now neutralized) Bb4+ 6.Nd2 Bxd2+ 7.Bxd2 Qh4+ and again black wins material.

But does it? After 4.f3 Qh4+ 5.g3 Nxg3 the Knight has left the e4-square, but won material in the proces. But can it meet requirement, as 4.f3 will force the Knight to move away. In this case, the black Knight is standing in the centre of the board it's hindering the natural development of the white Knight on b1 and in some variations threatens the f2-square, so it complies with. A real gambit.īut is the position of the black Knight (on e4) a good one? In general a piece has a good position when: 1 d4 f6 2 c4 e5 3 dxe5 g4 4 f3 c5 5 e3 c6 6 c3 gxe5 Although this is a great example of the demolishing power of the rook lift variation. Normally in the Budapest Gambit the black Knight goes to the g4-square, attacking the white pawn on e5, but in the Fajarowicz Gambit black plays 3.Ne4 and leaves the e5-pawn alone.
