Evans & Friends Vol.2 - Other Lines
Download, ChessBase, 1. Auflage 2026
A gambit is only half a repertoire. Volume 1 armed you with the Evans; Volume 2 covers every Black player who steers elsewhere after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3.
IM Andrew Martin begins where it matters most: the Two Knights Defense, which you'll meet roughly half the time you reach for 4.b4. His choice here is 4.d3 - the move today's elite prefer. It won't promise an advantage out of the opening, but it produces a rich, closed-Lopez-style middlegame full of pieces and play, ideal for outplaying strong opposition. Little theory to memorize; plans and manoeuvres instead, including attacking schemes where White leaves the king in the centre and storms the kingside.
Against the rock-solid Petroff, Andrew hands you a surprise: the offbeat 5.Bd3, an idea borrowed from Morozevich that leads to fresh, unusual positions your opponent almost certainly hasn't prepared.
Then there's the rogues' gallery - Elephant, Latvian, Stafford, Copycat Trap - refuted one by one, taking all the fun out of it for your opponent. The volume closes with the quieter ...d6 systems, the Philidor and the Hungarian Defense, where natural moves, extra space and patience do the work.

IM Andrew Martin beginnt dort, wo es am wichtigsten ist: beim Zweispringerspiel, das Ihnen in etwa der Hälfte aller Partien begegnen wird, in denen Sie Evans Gambit spielen wollen. Seine Wahl: 4.d3 – der Zug, den die heutige Weltspitze bevorzugt. Einen Eröffnungsvorteil verspricht er nicht, dafür aber ein reichhaltiges Mittelspiel im Stil der geschlossenen Spanischen Partie, mit vielen Figuren und viel Spiel – ideal, um auch starke Gegner zu überspielen. Wenig Theorie zum Auswendiglernen, dafür Pläne und Manöver.
Gegen die solide Russische Verteidigung hält Andrew eine Überraschung bereit: das ungewöhnliche 5.Ld3, eine bei Morosevic entlehnte Idee, die zu frischen, unorthodoxen Stellungen führt, auf die Ihr Gegner mit ziemlicher Sicherheit nicht vorbereitet ist.
Dazu kommt die Galerie der Gambits – Elefantengambit, Lettisches Gambit, Stafford-Gambit, Copycat-Falle. Den Abschluss bilden die ruhigeren Systeme mit frühem ...d6: die Philidor-Verteidigung und die Ungarische Verteidigung, wo natürliche Züge, Raumvorteil und Geduld die Arbeit erledigen.
