HUNGARIAN OPENING- Birati chess Academy-9836614608
The Hungarian Opening is a semi-unusual chess opening which begins with the move 1. g3
Compared to white’s four “main” opening moves (1. e4, 1. d4, 1. c4, and 1. Nf3), the Hungarian Opening lags far behind in popularity. That said, this opening is fully viable – even some professional-level chess games have featured the Hungarian Opening!
By playing g3 on move one, white indicates his intention to fianchetto the light-squared bishop. Black has several reasonable responses, including 1…c5, 1…e5, 1…d5, 1…Nf6, and 1…g6.
This is the real downside of the Hungarian Opening – black’s options aren’t limited at all! Black will be free to develop in almost any way he pleases.
There are very few “original” setups that are unique to the Hungarian Opening. The game will almost always “tranpose” to a setup that is better associated with another first move from white!
For example, after 1. g3 d5 2. Nf3 c5 3. Bg2 Nc6 4. 0-0 e5 5. d3:
