Posted by cairo austinfilmfestival.org 4/20/2008 14:14:09 Play online chess	Another Message: thing you also could do, was to start a Minitournament with the opening of Evans Gambit and then invite some players to play this opening. Best wishes Cairo

Posted by marinvukusic austinfilmfestival.org 4/21/2008 01:09:24 Play online chess	How serious are you? Message: If you want to learn about the Evans, I suggest a book: "Play the Evans Gambit", Hardnig & Cafferty, Cadogan Chess It was written in 1997. but is still the best book on Evans IMHO
Posted by tim_b austinfilmfestival.org 4/21/2008 08:17:02 Play online chess	Message: marinvukusic, can I ask what the book says about 5. ... Bd6 ? (perhaps followed by 6. ... Qe7) It seems to take the sting right out of it.
Posted by marinvukusic austinfilmfestival.org 4/22/2008 01:50:50 Play online chess	tim_b Message: Sure, it is considered the best of "unusual" defences to Evans. There are only 2 pages of analysis, since it is a rare move. White should probably play "main" variation: 6.d4, Qe7; 7.0-0, Nf6; 8.Nbd2, 0-0; 9.Bd3 with some advantage. In any case the move is good enough for Black players that fear White's preparation (no need to learn a lot of theory and White's advantage is small). I have never seen it played since obviously only White players buy books on the Evans and it does look too dangerous to improvise with 5...Bd6 :)

Posted by tim_b austinfilmfestival.org 4/22/2008 05:34:42 Play online chess	Message: Thanks, marinvukusic and heinzkat, I'll remember those tips. Heinzkat, I'm a little unsure how to manoeuvre the b1 knight to f5? Have you got a game example, please?

Posted by davido_check austinfilmfestival.org 4/26/2008 23:42:47 Play online chess	Message: Evans Gambit used to be my fav opening for White, if you care to look into my past games, there are several games on it in there. That opening lost its popularity throughout the years due to effective counterplay until one day when Kasparov used it to beat Anand (I think, he discovered a new line?). Look up Paul Morphy's games for the Evans!
