Posted by cairo goclub.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 goclub.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 goclub.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 goclub.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 goclub.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 cairo goclub.org 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 goclub.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!

Chess news: Favorites Begin Quickly at U.S. Chess Championship -- Hikaru Nakamura, Gata Kamsky and Alexander Onischuk, the top three seeds, all won their first games Friday at the United States Chess Championship in St. Louis. Five other chess players also won as the tournament got off to a fast and exciting start. The chess championship is being held at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis and has a prize fund of $173,000. It has an unusual format this year. The first seven rounds will be a regular Swiss system in which players with the same number of points are paired. After seven rounds, the top four scorers will be separated from the rest of the tournament and play a round-robin amongst themselves, with the winner becoming chess ... With One Blunder, Challenger Lets Chess Champion Keep Title -- Some consider chess an art form, others a math problem to be solved, but at its heart it is a competition. Anyone who watched the more than 2,000 children competing at the National Elementary School Chess Championships in Atlanta last weekend could see that. At the top levels, the competition is fierce, and the psychological pressure can be overwhelming. That is why even the best chess players make mistakes. The world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, which ended last week in Sofia, Bulgaria, illustrated that pressure. Each made blunders, culminating in one that led to Topalov’s loss in Game 12. It was ... Vishy Anand defeats Veselin Topalov to retain World Chess Championship title -- It was scarcely a vintage or error-free world chess championship, yet Vishy Anand's 6.5-5.5 victory over Veselin Topalov proved a combative scrap with subtle match strategies. The 40-year-old title holder from Chennai beat the Bulgarian 3-2 with seven draws in their €2m (£1.7m) series in Sofia. Anand won the crown in a 2007 tournament, then comfortably retained it against Vlad Kramnik in 2008, and so joins a rare elite of multiple chess champions. This time the margin was narrow, the games tense and long as Topalov, five years the younger, spurned draws and kept up sustained pressure. The Bulgarian had his chances, but a poor sense of danger proved his fatal weakness. All his ...
