Evans & Friends Vol.1 - The Evans Gambit
Download, ChessBase, 1. Auflage 2026
When the Evans Gambit appeared in the 19th century, one admirer called it a gift from the gods to a languishing chess world. Nearly two centuries later, IM Andrew Martin argues the gift is still well worth accepting.
Playable today? At the very top level, perhaps mainly as a surprise weapon – which leaves the other 99.99% of us free to enjoy it in full. The Evans produces exciting chess and teaches the art of attack.
This course is made for chess enthusiasts at the club level, who want to win with style and are not afraid of aggressive chess. In this first volume we dive into all important variations after back takes on b4: 5...Ba5 6.d4 d6 known as the Lasker's Defence, 5...Ba5 6.d4 exd4 and the less common 5...Bc5, 5...Bd6, 5...Be7 and the rare Evans Gambit Delined.
Together with the second volume you get a full repertoire for 1.e4 e5.

Als das Evans-Gambit im 19. Jahrhundert die Bühne betrat, nannte es ein Bewunderer ein Geschenk der Götter an eine darniederliegende Schachwelt. Fast zwei Jahrhunderte später ist IM Andrew Martin überzeugt: Dieses Geschenk sollte man auch heute noch dankend annehmen.
Ist das Evans-Gambit noch spielbar? In der absoluten Weltspitze vielleicht vor allem als Überraschungswaffe – womit die übrigen 99,99 % von uns es in vollen Zügen genießen dürfen. Denn das Evans-Gambit sorgt für spannendes Schach und lehrt die Kunst des Angriffs.
Dieser Kurs richtet sich an ambitionierte Vereinsspieler, die mit Stil gewinnen wollen und vor scharfem Schach nicht zurückschrecken. In diesem ersten Band nehmen wir alle wichtigen Varianten unter die Lupe, nachdem Schwarz auf b4 genommen hat: 5...La5 6.d4 d6 – die Lasker-Verteidigung –, 5...La5 6.d4 exd4 sowie die selteneren Fortsetzungen 5...Lc5, 5...Ld6, 5...Le7 und das rare Abgelehnte Evans-Gambit.
Zusammen mit dem zweiten Band erhalten Sie ein komplettes Repertoire für 1.e4 e5.
