Excuse me!
But I did not realize exactly what it means : if it was just 5 c3 Bd6 6 d4 Nf6(the usual move ) , it's mere chance , but if it's "my" variation 6 d4 Qf6 7 O-O Ne7 , then it means that women world champion is following this forum!

I guess you are happy to see that this line was played in the game Lie-Stefanova today. (Drammen Smartfish tournament).

I've been playing the Evan's for about 18 months now and I've faced Bd6 once now, I was pairied against the same opponent a few months later at a different tournament as white so I decided to spend the half hour before the round having my hard working german friend (Fritz) look at some sharp variations with me.  My opponent didn't end up playing Bc5 (he wimped out with the Two Knights), but I'm happy to share my idea which is quite sharp.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4!? Bxb4 5. c3 Bd6!? 6. d4 Nf6 (Interesting to note a very dubious, but successful try of Qe7 at the US Championships Recently) 7. dxe5!? (the idea)  Bxe5 (7... Nxe5? 8. Nxe5  Bxe5 9. f4 drops a piece) 8.  Ng5 (note f4 is threatened again) d5 9. exd5 Na5 10. Qa4!? this position I cannot do better than evaluate it as unclear, there is a line where white wins an exchange by force, but it probably loses for white, anybody willing to do some serious analysis on ICC should message me there (same name) as I think this has potential to scare most black players away from Bd6 if this line is sound.

Have looked at this recently in my club with a Bd6 player and there were two ideas...also see the excellent book from GM Rhodes

The main idea is that the bishop on d6 is to support the pawn on e5 which is ok at the beginning but black must castle and then the bishop is wrong. White can simply ignore the bishop there and play bd3 and start an attack on the king side aiming at h7.

Also there is the possibility of playing 7 Ng5 not castling and picking up the piece for pawns..I will try and post some moves later

Erratum: in the text of the game Shredder8/Junior7 , therewere 2 mistakes : please read 25...Qa6(instead of Ra6) and 26 Bxd6 (in place of Rxd6)
Sorry Embarrassed

Hi Panda!
I had not yet time to analyze Bg5 after 7...Cge7 , because theris a tournament running on my computer , but fhere is an argument : Shredder8 is world champion of computers , and yet it does not play 8 Fg5 , but Ng5
(which leads nowhere) , so I deduced that this moe was not much to be feared
I did exactly as if it was a game Anand-Kasparov , or the converse : if a move is obvious , and K does not play it , there is surely a reason : I have no doubt that , when the tournament will be over , I can refute 8 Fg5

Howdy,

you don't say which knight goes to e7.

If it is Ng8-e7 then Junior7 plays like a GuerlyKomputer!  Grin

Evans Gambit : an old variation revisited

Hi to all! Roll Eyes
in Evans Gambit , usually one considers only 5...Ba5 , Bc5 , Be7 , and yet there is another move : 5...Bd6!?
This move looks odd , and generally it is held for unsound
But Pillsbury played it with success against Schiffers (Hastings 1895 )
I mention it because my Chess engine Junior7 chose it against Shredder8 , and won with a very unusual plan
Her is the game:
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc5 Bc5 4 b4 Bxb4 5 c3 Bd6!?
6 d4 Qf6 7 O-O Ne7 TN
(there only one game with this line : Hanstein Bilguer where was played 7...h6 )
8 Ng5 O-O 9 f4 exf4 10 Nf3 Ng6 11 e5 Ncxe5
12 dxe5 Nxe5 13 Nxe5 Bxe5 14 Qf3 d5 15 Bxd5 g5
16 Be4 Rd8 17 a4 Bf5 18 Bxf5 Qxf5 19 Qxb7 Rab8
20 Qxa7 Bd6 21 Ba3 Ra8 22 Qb7 Rxa4 23 Kh1 Rda8
24 Qb3 Qd3 25 Rd1 Qa6 26 Bxd6 Rxa1 27 Bxc7 Qc6
28 Bd6 h6 29 Bxf4 gxf4 30 Rg1 Ra2 31 h3 De4 32 c4 Re2 33 Qd1 Qe3 34 Qd8+ Kg7 35 Qc8 Re1 36 Qg4+ Kf8
37 Rxe1 Qxe1+ 38 Kh2 Qxb1 39 Qc8+ Kg7 40 Qg4+ Kh8
41 Qxf4 Qg1+    0-1
The plan "followed" by Junior7 is quite original : to keep a strongpoint , not in e5 , but in f4 what stops all white
attack on kingside ; curiously enough , it gives to the game a structure akin to a King's Gambit , classical defense
Notice that the opponent is quite respectable:Shredder8 is world champion of chess engines
Maybe you can crack this line ,but you will have to calculate beyond ply 17  8)
Friendly Yours Roll Eyes
