I have played this few times (a long long time ago) and I can say that its playable for black. But white can get small positional advantage if they plays precise.

I've used it a few times, it's a great opening, and I will continue to use it from time to time - I should really put serious consideration into making it my main defense against 1.d4, but for now I'm testing 1...d6.

Do you play 3..Ng4 or 3..Ne4 if white captures? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Defense

In my opinion 3...Ng4 is definetly better than 3...Ne4

I guess Fritz could do it also if you use any other openings.
