The Budapest Gambit — win a piece, get mated · Budapest Gambit (A52)
Black
White
In this trap, White wins a whole bishop with a simple pawn move — and gets checkmated on the very next move. It's called the Kieninger Trap, it's the heart of the Budapest Gambit, and club players fall into it every single day.
The board stops before the key move — you'll have to find it yourself.
