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.

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

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.

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 :)

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?

use to play 5.... Bd6 against the Evans Gambit, it should be possible to look up some games at the net.

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!

Chess news:

Barden on chess -- India's Vishy Anand and his Russian challenger Vlad Kramnik meet this afternoon in Bonn in game four of their 12-game, €1.5m world title chess match. The eagerly awaited showdown has lost some of its gloss due to Kramnik's mediocre results at Dortmund and Moscow and Anand's recent disastrous last place in Bilbao. In consequence they are currently Nos 5 and 6 in the world chess rankings. I can not recall a previous world title match (except for Fide's knock-outs) where neither chess player was in the top two. Basically the result is too close to call and could be effectively decided if in one game either side can unleash a computer-prepared chess opening bomb. Expert opinion is ...

Anand wins 3rd game of world chess match -- Defending chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India scored the first victory in his title match against Russian Vladimir Kramnik with a third game that saw both chess players take off the gloves and go at each other with gusto. After a dull draw in game one and a complex but civilized draw in game two, the two engaged in play they described as "complicated," but that description hardly catches the flavor of Friday's game. Anand, playing with Black, opted for the super-sharp Meran Variation of the Semi-Slav Defense, which Kramnik avoided in game one. Anand's 14th move, a bishop to b7, was a novelty at this level of play. Afterward, Kramnik said, "I have my doubts about it but ...

Anand, Kramnik draw in 4th game of chess match -- Defending chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India played to a 29-move draw with Russian challenger Vladimir Kramnik on Saturday in the fourth game of their world chess championship match. Anand leads the 12-game match 2.5-1.5. He won the third game in spectacular style on Friday after the two men drew their opening games. Saturday's draw was a tame affair in comparison with the previous day's game. Anand had the white pieces and the opening was the solid Queen's Gambit Declined. As often happens in this chess opening, Black wound up with an isolated d-pawn and White had only the slightest chance of an advantage. Kramnik summed the opening up after ...
