Playing the Evans against Evans

I sat down as White against a player named Evans.  I just had to play the Evans Gambit against someone named Evans.  It added to my repertoire of playing openings named after my opponents.  I have played a Ruy Lopez against Mr. Lopez, and Stonewall  (what else) against Stone and a Smith-Morra against Mr Smith.

    Nicely played game! I think I have played the Evans, but I don't think anything as memorable as this game out! One of my favorite moves it Chess are those that you play a move just to force an undesirable position on your opponent, and then played the move that you wanted but could have been a "blunder" a move earlier. Like on 18. It is easy to play Qc3 first, and mate disappears, but you had to go to g3 first, to force g6, and then you went back to c3. See what I mean? I think understanding things like that is good for people trying to improve at Chess.

    I saw that it was a poison pawn after I played 15.Bb2, knowing he would play 15...Qxe4, then I saw Re1, Rxe7, Qg3, Qc3.  I had no idea what would happen after d4, so that move was intuition.

    bill, at what point did you see the final continuation? at move 15? or as early as 11. d4?
