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.

I'm not playing the KID right now, too much theory.

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.
