This game is presented for two reasons: first, it show how easy it is for white to get a good game against the lame Budapest Defense; and second, the ending is a real shocker!
Moves began 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e5 3 de Ng4 4 Nf3 Nc6 5 b3 I have never played this move before, but it seemed logical. The white queen's bishop will get a great diagonal to operate on. The only database game has white winning.
5...Ngxe5 6 NxN NxN 7 Bbb2 Bb4+ 8 Bc3 Qe7 9 BxB QxB+ 10 Qd2 QxQ+ 11 NxQ 0-0 The engine says equality here, but my focus is on exercising control of the crucial d-file, which to me will give me an advantage.

22 Kf2 Kf7 23 h3 Ke6 24 g4 Bf7? 25 f4! Wins a piece by force.
25...Ng6 26 f5+ Ke5 27 fg Bxg6 28 Ke3 h5 29 Bf3 h4 30 c5 Bf7 31 cd RxP 32 RxR 33 RxR KxR 34 Kd4 g5 35 Na4 b6 36 Kc3? Here I inexplicably wander away from the king-side, allowing his king a worrisome incursion.
36...Ke5 37 Ke2 Kf4 38 Ke2 Kg3 39 Nc3 Kxh2 40 Kf2 Be6 41 e5! A desperate attempt to get my knight into the game, and it succeeds handsomely.
41...fe 42 Ne4 Bxg4? 43 Nxg4+ And here I glanced at the time and realized to my horror that I only had 1.3 seconds left! Fortunately, I saw the easy mate, the traditional mate of bishop + knight vs. king. Pure luck.
43...Kh2 44 BxB Kh1 45 Bf3+ Kh2 46 Bg2! c5 47 Nf3# 1-0
