Evan's Gambit (Normal Position) 9. Nc3
Compiled by e4 resigns

The Evans Gambit arises from the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4!?

The games in this collection are exclusively limited to 9. Nc3 in the 'normal' position of the Evans Gambit. If one decides to play this opening, one should be familiar with the position resulting from 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4 Bxb4 5. c3 Bc5 6. d4 exd4 7. 0-0 d6 8. cxd4 Bb6.

Today 9. Nc3 is considered the best continuation but people occasionally play 9. Bb2 and 9. d5. Even 9. h3!? is possible.
