That move wants to earn a tempo. It threatens 5.c3 and 6.d4 to have got predominance in the center.
But if you play white be careful to Lasker defence:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Ac4 Ac5 4.b4 B:b4 5.c3 Aa5 6.0-0 d6 7.d4 Ab6.
or 5...Ac5 6.d4 e:d4 7.0-0 d6.
These moves should advantage black and not white!

When Elite Chess Tournaments Were Rare and Noteworthy — Tournaments that bring together the best chess players at the same place at the same time became possible only in the jet age. There are now so many elite chess tournaments that few of them are actually memorable. But in an age when steam- and coal-powered ships and trains were the only ways to travel long distances, it was a rare event that pit the world’s best against one another — so rare that such chess events are remembered still. Baden-Baden, Germany, a spa town near the French border, played host to three such tournaments, in 1870, 1914 and 1925. The 1870 tournament’s roster included most of the top chess players of the day, including Adolf Anderssen of Germany, who won, and Wilhelm Steinitz, an Austrian who would ...

Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand both named Sportsman of the Year 2012 — Norway's world No1, Magnus Carlsen, 22, and India's official world chess champion, Vishy Anand, 43, have both won Sportsman of the Year 2012 awards, an unprecedented double for top chess players. Carlsen has become a cult hero in his homeland and readers of Dagbladet, Norway's second largest tabloid, gave him more votes than the next three in the poll combined. Anand triumphed in the Indian vote ahead of the cricketer Virat Kohli at an award ceremony televised nationwide. Voters liked his match win against Boris Gelfand, his third successful world crown defence since 2007, and also his Mind Champions Academy which claims 17 million students. The Carlsen v Anand rivalry has sparked new elite chess tournaments as ...

There is a lot of theory to the Evans, more than one could cover in a post. It is interesting to compare Morphy's and Anderssen's approach to the game. Anderssen always makes a threat when he moves, if the threat involves developing a piece it's a coincident, while Morphy makes a effort to develop a piece. While Morphy also likes to make threats he places a premium on development. If you Google the Evans Gambit you can find quite a bit of theory. I believe there are some articles at chesscafe.com which you should find when you do your search.

The 'Queen' Wants to Turn Chess Into a Spectator Sport — Julian Schuster first heard the rumor a year and a half ago. Susan Polgar, the legendary chess grand master known to journalists as “the Queen,” was unhappy in her current position as Texas Tech’s chess coach. She was feeling unappreciated. She had made this known to certain people in the tight-knit world of chess, and the news had traveled from one of these confidants, a foreign grand master living in Texas, to the ears of Schuster, a passionate fan of the game, in St. Louis. He knew her story, of course; it had achieved the status of legend. Her father raised her and her two sisters to be chess prodigies. In the 1980s, the three Polgar sisters began showing up at chess tournaments and crushing all comers, men and women alike. At ..

The World’s No.1 Chess Player Breaks His Own Record — Magnus Carlsen produced another dominating performance last month at the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands. Carlsen, the world’s top-ranked chess player, did not lose a single game. He finished 1 ½ points ahead of Levon Aronian, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, and 2 points ahead of Viswanathan Anand, the world chess champion, and Sergey Karjakin, who is No. 5. Perhaps just as impressive, Carlsen raised his chess rating, which is the system used to rank players, by 11 points — to 2,872 — eclipsing his own record. Carlsen tournament victories have become almost routine. In his last 11 tournaments, going back two years, he has won or tied for first eight times. During that period, he has won 42 games, drawn ...

Following the Money Trail for the World's Best Chess Players — There is a simple way to determine the No. 1 chess player in the world: the World Chess Federation rates and ranks the competitors. It is not so easy trying to figure out the game’s best-paid player. Peter Zhdanov recently tried to get a definitive answer. Zhdanov, a proficient player who manages the chess career of his wife, Natalia Pogonina (No. 25 among women), recently outlined the problems in an article. Tournament prize money is easy to figure out, he said. But chess players have other sources of income that they do not publicly disclose, including how much they are paid for participating in professional leagues or what they earn in appearance fees just for showing up at a chess tournament. According to Zhdanov’s research, ...

Youtube is good because they play out the game on a chess board rather than having to follow chess notation - but iguess it is a matter of personal preference:)

The Evans is wonderful fun, but can get very positional and boring if black declines.
