I like the way Agad feigned nonchalance when announcing that the Evans Gambit is on the board!

[@carterbentley9030]

I actually saw the d3 move. I think it is the first time I've seen the optimal line when a GM didn't. The line that follows is truly spectacular. I won't claim to have seen it all the way to the end, but at least I had a sense that this was the best way to go. I dream of having one day when my brain works so well that I can foresee lines like a GM.

[@nikitkothale2388]

e3

[@Drac0710]

If agad is asking us to find the move, then it's most probably either a pawn move or a knight backwards or a queen sac🥱

[@matmagix3845]

this one wasn't hard to spot but I think Wesley in the heat of the moment saw that he was under attack and tried defensive play.

[@brendanward2991]

I thought Rxg2+ was the winning move, followed by the discovered check e3.

[@dragosantrach6283]

Incredible game. Evans Gambit lives another day!

[@starliaghtsz8400]

idk man, e3 is such a visually appealing move. White is pretty much forced to trade queens and at that position exd2 is again a very visually appealing move and its clear that white cant save the queen becuase if they do black takes the rook and gets another queen. ig wesley missed that he didnt have to recapture the queen right away but again both e3 and exd2 are very appealing and both are pretty much forcing moves so its surprising a 2700+ player missed that. maybe it was time trouble

[@anthonyschlott916]

Yeah I saw e3 XDD But than I ruined myself thinking next move is exf2

Great example of GM strength even in rapid. In the winning line after black takes RxRd1, Stockfish gives Qf3 which is still good for black after Re1 but requires perfect play. So, Evans gambit still lives on.

There is a lot of Evans Gambit games played by Paul Morphy in the romantic area who is realy interresting to study with a lot of sacrifices .... he is one of the genius players of all times who have played a lot that opening ....I think it worth showing is games (agadmator s Chess Channel) who are very accurate with long precise calculation ... a lot of chess champions (Boby Fisher, Gary Kasparov, Jose Raoul Capablanca ,Mikael Botvinik ,Mikael Tal, etc ....) ...have admirer is style of open games with (E4 opening) .... its to bad that chess genius player have been forget with times... !!

@@osgubben First I am lazy and I know it. Second if Agad tells the story it will be SO much better

[@MacDaniboi]

The gambit is named after the Welsh sea captain, William Davies Evans, the first player known to have employed it. The first game with the opening is considered to be Evans-McDonnell, London 1827, although in that game a slightly different move order was tried (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.0-0 d6 and only now 5.b4)

[@Saskobest]

Can some1 who is high elo explain to me why this oppening is so loved by Agad and overall played by the best players sometimes? from my senses it looks like black is at advantage

[@donquixote8462]

Well, I'm not high elo (2000 online) but You just get a really solid center and you can get that queen-bishop battery going. It has some similarities to the Danish in the way the queen and bishop will often occupy the same diagonal and you can put some pressure on f7 and you can just get some shenanigans going. I think both openings are objectively bad (or just meh) at top level but in rapid sometimes people go for it. I do very well with both in bullet. As for what you say about black having an advantage, I mean, if you ask the engine pretty much whoever gambits is worse with optimal play but the idea is to make the position high pressure and sharp so your opponent has to play accurately, and you continue to make threats. That's why gambits are so common in bullet. Lots of pressure, lots of blunders.

[@MrK623]

9:19 it's black's move but there's no check and then Rxg7+, only square is h8. If black hasn't moved the N then RxN+. And if white has moved the N then Rg1+ wins the Queen and white wins. So what is black's move at 9:19? Qh5? Still drops the N.

[@rockmyworldmusic]

I just asked a similar question. It seems black's best move is to run with the king. Then after the rook captures the night on G6, Black could push the pawn from B5 to B4, which threatens the Bishop.

[@adamfarmer7665]

pawn h5 is blacks move.

[@MrK623]

@@adamfarmer7665 Yes that looks good TY. But depending on time controls, black still has to find it, or white can draw or even win. Just because the material is imbalanced doesn't always mean the game is over, even at the top level.
