Alex Yermolinsky Budapest A52

I continue to be curious about top level players who have ventured into the swashbuckling world of the Budapest Gambit A52. Another well known gradmaster who has played the Budapest A52 at some point in his career is Alex Yermolinsky. I have a fascination with games where players display tactical wizardry. In part because I am so poor at it, I admire those who are able to pull out stuff like that in serious tournament games. Don't get me wrong, I have studied the science of chess tactics. In particular I found the book by Yuri Averbach - "Tactics for Advanced Players", to be very illuminating on the subject. But still, I struggle to create the preconditions for highly tactical play on the board. Click here for games by Alex Yermolinsky playing the black side of the Budapest Gambit A52.
