Overview
A MODERN GUIDE TO A ROMANTIC GAMBIT
The brainchild of 19th century Welsh seafarer and inventor, Captain William Davies Evans, The Evans Gambit has long enjoyed a reputation for daring and adventurous play. Arising after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4!, the Evans forces Black to navigate stormy seas from the outset. IM Andrew Martin takes you on a journey through the ages, showing how the Evans was used by the leading players of the Victorian era, before being moulded into a deadly weapon by Garry Kasparov, and subsequently by modern-day grandmasters who have proved its validity in the computer era. With additional chapters providing similarly active and aggressive ideas against Black's alternative tries after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3, this book is the ultimate guide for 1.e4 players looking to take the fight to their opponents.
