Evans Gambit for the new generation

This romantic and exciting opening is named after the Welsh sea captain William Davies Evans, who was the first to try it. The Evans Gambit (which is formed after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4!?) is an attempt to destroy Black in a sacrificial style right out of the opening, and giants of yesteryear such as Adolf Andersson and Paul Morphy have played many brilliant games with it. But the Evans Gambit has also stood the test of time, and in the modern era players such as Nigel Short, Garry Kasparov, Baadur Jobava, Hikaru Nakamura or Wei Yi have used it with success. This DVD will prove that the gambit is still absolutely valid and a promising attempt to sweep Black off the board from the first move. With games from yesteryear as well as numerous new and exciting ideas, this DVD shows you a genuine and high-speed method of playing the Italian.
