> Instead of holding the line in front of the main attacking force of the Emperor, and backing toward the marshalling area, he chose to evade instead and started a march toward north east. While his move weakened the direct defense of the new center of rally it was quite unexpected for the imperial command. They sent a considerable force onto his chase, in case he breaks into Austrian lands, or threatens logistically important settlements and supply lines. Görgey basically stopped the enemy's advance at the region of the Danube just the same.
This sounds foolish at first, why would he retreat from the enemy's main invasion corridor (which I guess, after the Danube was secured, that the next Habsburg target was to cross the Tisza and get to Debrecen) and move away from it to the less relevant highlands? But it seems the Austrians were also dazzled by this foolishness and played along, so they were more foolish. Or maybe they in this case they thought their logistics would not allow a push that far with Komárom still untaken, and/or cared about facing armies more than catching territory. How much more progress could they have made on the main invasion corridor if they had just ignored Görgey? From the map it seems Jablonowski and Csorich could have instead fought in the push o the Tisza. Or maybe moving everyone on this corridor would leave them vulnerable to a a flanking attack by Görgey coming down the highlands.

> The most recent version of the speculation is, that after he fell into Russian captivity the Tsar threatened the Emperor, that they will bring Görgey to Russia as a badge of their triumph if they don't give him amnesty
This Russian favoritism is really intriguing. He couldn't provide any aid to the Tsar while living in Klagenfurt, maybe return to Hungary to fight the Habsburgs again if another revolution were to happen at a time Russia were hostile to Austria, but that would be an unlikely combination of events and out of mind in a time the Kaiser and Tsar were friendly. Was it just respect from his earlier negotiations to fold to Russia?
