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 cairo mailcafe.net 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 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: Rising Chess Stars Open up a Lead at NH Tournament -- The saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link is also true for chess teams. Unfortunately for the older team at the annual NH Tournament in the Netherlands, it seems to have three weak links right now. After seven rounds, the rising stars lead the experience team 19 to 16. The top chess player for the experience team, Boris Gelfand of Israel, is actually playing very well. He has scored 5 points — the most in the competition. Peter Svidler of Russia is playing beneath his ability, but he still has 3.5 points. But the other three experience members — Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark, Loek Van Wely of the Netherlands and Ljubomir Ljubojevic of Serbia — each have only 2.5 points. That is ... Chess still struggling to capture imagination of the masses in China -- China is a unique phenomenon in world chess. The team only began to compete in around 1970 but within 30 years was a serious contender at men's level and No1 in women's chess. Yet the national game remains Chinese chess and the global version has little public support. The secret has been well-directed government backing to identify young talent and provide intensive coaching. China will be going for medals again at next month's world team Olympiad in Russia, although the home squad will be heavy favourites. China has also created its own elite chess tournament at Nanjing, where the top two finishers qualify for a Grand Slam final against world chess champion Vishy Anand and world No1 ... In Race for Global Chess Dominance, China Is Gaining on Russia -- There was little doubt why the Soviet Union was so dominant in chess — the government poured money and other resources into programs that cultivated chess players. Yet even after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia remained the world’s leading chess country. Its strength might be a vestige of the Communist-led system, or of the country’s historical affinity for the game. If there is one nation that seems able to displace Russia, it is China, which created its own state-run chess-training program about two decades ago. China has already narrowed the gap, finishing ahead of Russia in some team competitions and producing several women’s world chess champions. One measuring stick of ...
