Posted by cairo mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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 mailcafe.net 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 davido_check mailcafe.net 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: A Naiditsch in time... -- Vladimir Kramnik will have mixed feelings about his crushing defeat at the hands of Arkady Naiditsch in the third round of the Sparkassen chess tournament at Dortmund. Although he hardly ever loses in this, his favourite chess event, if he is going to have one of his main lines of defence to 1.e4 refuted then at least it has happened before his world title match against Vishy Anand and not during it. This was a fine piece of home analysis by Naiditsch who found a clever new wrinkle on move 19 in what was a known rook sacrifice. Kramnik will be disappointed not to have found the best defence but the practical problems the defender faces when confronted with a new idea in ... Pawns get racing -- Ian Nepomniachtchi who qualified for the Sparkassen chess tournament at Dortmund by winning the Aeroflot Open in Moscow joined the leaders after a comfortable win over Loek Van Wely of Holland in round four. The Dutchman played sharply and sacrificed rook for bishop and pawn but then immediately blundered – see below - and was in a lost endgame before he could think of making a fight of the game. There was a pawn race as the time control approached but there was only ever going to be one winner. Vladimir Kramnik’s chances of scoring a morale-boosting chess tournament victory in his last outing before the WCC match in the autumn receded further when ... Barden on chess -- The annual elite chess event at Dortmund is Vladimir Kramnik's patch. The former world chess champion has won or shared first there eight times, including the last two editions. Dortmund 2008, which finishes tomorrow, is his penultimate outing before the title series against India's Vishy Anand in October. Kramnik's tournament strategy was to win with White, not lose with Black; so this week, in the bottom half of the draw with four blacks, he was set on scoring a full point with the first of his three whites. The Dutch No1, Loek van Wely, made it interesting by opting for the Slav Defence 2...c6, which is expected to be Anand's mainstay in the chess match. Kramnik naturally wanted to ...
