Fajarowicz Feedback

On Saturday, I had a conversation with the blogger Atomic Patzer at Cherry Hill where I played in the game/30 Swiss event while he played in the game/60 quads.

Before the tournament began, he mentioned that he had seen my blog post regarding the Fajarowicz Variation in the Budapest Defense. And as a result, he bought a used copy of Tim Harding's The Fighting Fajarowicz.

Black gets active piece play, even in the line where White answers 2...e5 with 3.d5.
