After 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 0-0 Nf6 5 d4, Larry Kaufman in his book The Chess Advantage in Black and White says that this is a dubious gambit and recommends 5...Bxd4. However, Mihail Marin in ...

C51-C52: Evan's Gambit Refutation?
Does anyone know of a true refutation of the Evan's Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 b4!?) that guarantees Black an advantage? I thought the main line, 4...Bxb4 5 c3 Ba5, refuted the Evan's Gambi...

Vote for what you think Black's best move is after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 d4!?.
1) 4...Nxd4. After 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 0-0 Nf6 5 d4!?, 5...Nxe4? is bad because of 6 Nxe5. However... Started 08/29/10 at 06:46:20 by Anonymous3 |

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 |
