I'm new to chess and wanted to learn some of the main ideas/themes of the Evans Gambit. What are some of the basic plans/ideas in this opening?

The Evans Gambit has been played sporatically throughout GM play and is an excellent choice for the club level player.  I do not really like the opening due to my personal preference, but it exhibits all the qualities you want in a gambit.  Go for it!

I have also tried the Evans during my "younger" years. Though I had some successes with it, I really felt uncomfortable using it so I reverted to the "safer lines".

Yes, but in this game, why Kf8 instead of Qf6 or Nf6? What should white do when Black plays one of those moves?

 To answer your question, there is nothing wrong with either Qf6 or Nf6 instead of the incorrect Kf8. Qf6 is better.

Today I played the Evans gambit again at the external competition for the NBSB second divison. I made a big mistake in the endgame, but I discovered that the gambit is suitable at low lovel. But I post my game, maybe you can analyse my game so that I can improve this opening.

Is there something I can improve as white in the middle game?
