A LESSON FROM THE MASTERS....

The evans gambit is one of my pet openings, (at the moment)and here I present to you a game from one of the most lethal masters of his time. Chigorin.
the annotations are "heavily borrowed" from chessmaster (TM) .
Enjoy the game and watch a master at work.

Moral of the game

hold the initiative
present your opponent with multiple problems
when facing the Evans gambit or any other gambit for that matter, consider returning material to free up your pieces.

Great game kaos2008, a lot of fun to play over. I had a book on Chigorin's games once. I regret losing it.

its left an imprint in my mind and i can say I have gone thru the game more than 40 times and the subtle nuances just blow my mind away each time.....
and chigorin seems to be relentless in the middle game.
