C28: Best white Vienna continuation here? 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nc6 4. d3 Na5 ...and now? I don't play the Vienna yet. Looking at it as I move to an e4 rep. I like the activity of the 3.

The Evans Gambit Via C23/24 Greetings, I wanted to ask for opinions on the Evans Gambit: is it still playable on higher levels? What is its current reputation? How commonly seen at any level?

C29: Vienna gambit with 5.Nf3 I often get into trouble as black, especially against stronger players, when facing the Vienna gambit: 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Nf3.

Best coverage of 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4? Is there a good (fairly recent) book about the Gambit line 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4? I suppose that the "Modern Vienna" by Ovetchkin and Soloviov (Chess Stars) goes with 3.Bc4 only, or is there coverage...
