1. e4 |
Evans Gambit. This is a tricky opening to play - I've had mixed success. It's an aggressive opening - white needs to establish a mating attack or win pieces before the endgame. Black's challenge is to try to get to the endgame with a pawn advantage. |
| | |
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4 |
The gambit move |
| | |
|
4... Bxb4 5. c3 Ba5 6. d4 exd4 7. O-O Bb6 8. cxd4 d6 9. d5 Ne5 |
This may not have been the best move - perhaps Nf6 is better? |
| | |
|
10. Nxe5 dxe5 11. Bb2 Qd6 12. Nd2 Nf6 13. h3 Ba5 14. Bd3 Bxd2 15. Qxd2 Nd7 16. f4 |
Keeping an aggressive line |
| | |
|
16... Qc5+ |
this doesn't really help black - perhaps castling or Nb3 would be better |
| | |
|
17. Kh1 f6 18. a4 |
Preventing black from castling (Ba3!) |
| | |
|
18... exf4 19. Qxf4 Qd6 20. Qh4 |
Can't afford to swap Qs - need to stay attacking. This moves sets up an interesting exchange on f6 later |
| | |
|
20... Ne5 21. Be2 |
again - don't want to swap pieces - need to stay attacking |
| | |
|
21... Bd7 22. Bh5+ |
this starts the real trouble for black. g6 creates problems, Nf7 is also trouble - so perhaps black did the best thing by moving the K |
| | |
|
22... Kd8 |
I can now see an interesting move - Rxf6. Just need to move the black Q away. |
| | |
|
23. Ba3 Qa6 24. d6 |
....or block the Q from defending f6 |
| | |
|
24... cxd6 |
I can't make the move yet - the K would escape to c7 |
| | |
|
25. Rac1 Rc8 26. Rcd1 Qxa4 |
?? this pawn swap is trouble for black |
| | |
|
27. Bxd6 Nc6 28. Rxf6 |
and finally I can make the play - hard to see how black defends this now |
| | |
|
28... Ne7 |
black agreed. |
