I. The theory behind the Evans Gambit

The Evans Gambit is an aggressive opening that aims to control the center of the board and put pressure on Black's position early on. The main idea is to sacrifice a pawn on move 4 (b4) to gain control of the c5 square and prevent Black from developing their knight to that square. By doing so, White gains a strong initiative and can launch a powerful attack against Black's king. There are several variations of the Evans Gambit, each with its own pros and cons. In this section, we will explore the different variations and explain their main ideas.
