Evan's gambit in 2023 I'm tired of playing boring chess in response to e5 and I'm completely ok with 0.00 advantage according to the computer since this doesn't take into account dynamic possibility, preparation, experienc...

C55: Unexplored line in the Italian How about this idea? 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.Qc2!? I do not think this gives white any more than the main lines do, but it certainly is an interesting try. Started 07/04/10 at 18:36:14 by Conquistador	6	5229	07/06/10 at 15:52:41 By: Conquistador

Boden-Kieseritsky Gambit Exactly how dodgy is the Boden-Kieseritsky Gambit? (1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nc6 3.Bc4,Nf3 4.Nc3 - although it can also appear in the Petroff) Morphy played it a lot and it seems to be one of those rare gambits...

"Reanimation" of the Møller Attack? In CBM 199 there is an article by Christian Braun (perhaps the German IM) about a new idea in the ancient Møller Attack (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.
