Evans and Friends Vol.1 - The Evans Gambit
Andrew Martin
IM Andrew Martin shows why this 19th-century opening weapon still is a fantastic choice for club players. The Evans produces exciting chess and teaches the art of attack.
This course is made for chess enthusiasts at the club level, who want to win with style and are not afraid of aggressive chess. In this first volume we dive into all important variations after back takes on b4: 5...Ba5 6.d4 d6 known as the Lasker's Defence, 5...Ba5 6.d4 exd4 and the less common 5...Bc5, 5...Bd6, 5...Be7 and the rare Evans Gambit Delined.
Together with the second volume you get a full repertoire for 1.e4 e5.
Andrew Martin also wrote a book for New in Chess on this subject which appeared at the same time as this video course. Here you can find the details: https://www.newinchess.com/the-evans-gambit
