Posted by cairo blitzbrain.net 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 blitzbrain.net 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 blitzbrain.net 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 blitzbrain.net 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 blitzbrain.net 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 cairo blitzbrain.net 4/22/2008 13:44:02 Play online chess	Bent Larsen Message: use to play 5.... Bd6 against the Evans Gambit, it should be possible to look up some games at the net. Best wishes Cairo
Posted by davido_check blitzbrain.net 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!

Chess news: A Chess Player’s Attacks Pay Off, Even When They Shouldn’t -- Computer chess programs are so popular, and so good, that almost anybody can use one to figure out where a chess player went wrong — when the game is over. But at the chess board, competitors can rely only on their brains and wits (unless they are cheating) and are bound to make mistakes, especially when they are under pressure. One reason why Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria is so good is that he forces opponents to make mistakes. Ranked No. 2 in the world, he is an aggressive chess player who is always trying to attack. There are problems with this approach, when being aggressive is not justified. But the constant pressure that he places on his opponents often ... Vietnamese surprise in Moscow -- The Aeroflot Open, arguably the strongest open chess tournament ever, ended Feb. 19 in Moscow. The field of 80 included 75 chess grandmasters. The surprising winner of 21,000 Euros (about $28,000) for first place was 18-year-old Le Quang Liem of Vietnam, who scored an undefeated 7-2. His success followed his tie for first place in the Moscow Open, another GM-heavy chess tournament, a day before the start of the Aeroflot Open. Entering the last round of the Aeroflot Open, Le shared the lead with his countryman Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, 19. Le defeated 2009 winner Ian Nepomniachtchi (Russia), while Nguyen lost to GM Anton Korobov (Ukraine), who took ... The f-pawn, part 3: a blunt but effective attack? -- Punting the f-pawn down the chess board may be desperate but it sometimes gets results. The Grand Prix Attack. White has just offered the f-pawn. How should Black reply? RB We've been using the metaphor of route-one football in our survey of the f-pawn advance, and while we all know from experience that the long, hopeful punt down the park can produce the occasional goal, this looks to me just a little too early and a little too crude. The team is barely on the pitch and the ball has already been booted up the other end. On principle alone it seems wrong. I can't decide whether Black's best response is 1…exf5 or simply to continue with ...
