About this course
The Evans Gambit is one of the most aggressive, romantic answers to the Italian Game: White sacrifices the b-pawn to blast open the centre and hurl the pieces at Black’s king. This Short & Sweet repertoire gives you a ready-to-play White system — the main accepted lines, the critical declined tries, and the attacking plans that follow.
What you'll learn
- How to play the Evans Gambit as White and justify the pawn sacrifice with rapid development.
- The main accepted lines after 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 and where Black typically goes wrong.
- How to meet the declined setups (4...Be7, 4...Bb6) while keeping the initiative.
- Typical attacking plans, piece sacrifices and central breaks that decide the game.
