Yeah, there is no way that a modern GM could be felled by the Evan's Gambit. |

| Apr-21-19 | | whiteshark: "The choice of this game was ... rather to draw the reader's attention to a very <"natural" exchange sacrifice>, arrogantly rejected by all annotators. That sacrifice, in my view, promises Black satisfactory play. Later in the game, and in real danger, Vishy had another opportunity - giving up two pieces for rook and pawn would have calmed down Garry's attack. Many players lose their way when trying to get off the hook in tough situations, but I am surprised that Anand did, as he is one of the greatest experts, both in tactical and
positional sacrifices."

| Mar-08-21 | | jkuzub: This game is analyzed by Kasparov at length in his MasterClass, specifically the lesson called "Case Study: Opening." He discusses the entire game, as well as lines that could have developed. Very interesting to hear his comments. |
|
| Jun-26-21 | | VerySeriousExpert: The REFUTATION of the Evans gambit is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bc5! 6.d4 exd4! 7.0-0 Na5! 8.Bd3 dxc3 9.Nxc3 d6!, and Black has a large advantage (Yury V. Bukayev published this his defence in his article, it can be found on "Bruno's Chess Articles" webpage). Thus, Black can play stronger than 5...Be7 (this game Kasparov-Anand). |
|
| Jun-26-21 | | VerySeriousExpert: The URL of this his article is: https://chessproblem.my-free-games.... . (G.Kasparov in this Kasparov-Anand game could play Qd1xd4 because the position of Black's Bishop wasn't central in contrast with this Bukayev defence.) Fortunately, Yury V. Bukayev invented several similar gambits (the family of Evans-Bukayev gambits: 4.d3 h6 5.b4! etc.) which let get very strong attacks. |
|
| Sep-20-22 | | missile14b: @veryseriousexpert Nobody plays 8. Bd3. The move is 8. cd. Black can't take the Bishop, that's just horrible. After 8... Bb6 9. Bd3 d6 10. Nc3 White retains an initiative, edge in space, strong central control and easy development. Granted, white's down a pawn but has completely sufficient compensation and both sides have equal chances. |

| Mar-10-23 | | VerySeriousExpert: @missile14b
Thank you for your opinion, but 8.cd is only another good move in this not good position for White. Thus, after 8.cd Bb6 9.Bd3 d6 10.Nc3 Black makes a typical move 10...Bg4 and gets an advantage. After 9...d6 Black doesn't have problems. White has problems. |

Stockfish 16 makes some not good moves here. |
|
| Jan-19-24 | | VerySeriousExpert: @kingscrusher
For example: 10.Bb2 f6 11.Nh4 Be6 (Yury V. Bukayev). |
|
| Jan-19-24 | | VerySeriousExpert: These Black's moves by Yury Bukayev are good, they lead to Black's serious advantage. |

After 6. d4 exd4 7. cxd4 Bb6, my version of Stockfish (16.1) gives simply 8. O-O with advantage to White (+0.3).> Makes sense. After 8....d6 we've reached what in the 19th century was called the Normal Position. White has a strong center in exchange for a pawn. Not that the Normal Position is terrible for Black, but I think if better defenses than this hadn't been found the Evans Gambit would never have gone out of style. Long ago when this opening was in fashion White used to prefer 7.0-0 because 7.cd allows ...Bb4+. But the engine seems to think that in that case 8.Nbd2 followed by castling is fine for White, with the same kind of evaluation edge as in Newzild's line. Going back to VerySeriousExpert's line, 6.d4 cd 7.0-0 Na5 8.cd Bb6 9.Bd3 d6. 
click for larger viewThe engine thinks 10.Nc3 or 10.h3 are about equivalent and White is slightly better in either case. Which isn't surprising, since basically it's the Normal Position again. One interesting engine line is 10.Nc3 Bg4 11.Nd5 Bxf3 12.gf Ne7 13.Nxb6 ab 14.d5 0-0. 
click for larger viewChigorin and Steinitz were playing lines like this back in the 1890s. SF again thinks White is slightly better, but whether or not you agree I think anyone would say White has compensation for the pawn.
