Welcome to my course about the Evans Gambit! This opening is good for attacking players and full of interesting tactical and dynamic ideas.
I am Nikolai Maevskiy - a chess coach since 2016, FIDE Master and sports psychologist.
Modern chess is full of theory; that's why some rare openings can be a breath of fresh air and force our opponent to think. In the Evans Gambit, Black has to play carefully - sometimes obvious good-looking moves can lead to bad positions. To defend is harder than to attack. The price of a mistake is higher, and stress helps us to push our opponent into an uncomfortable position. Let's start!
Play pawn to e4.
