Also, this may sound dumb, but make sure you can recognize and defend against the 4 move checkmate.

Question--why do you want to survive longer against better players?

Just looked up the hedgehog and stonewall. It seems to me, that those aply to players playing black. I´m playing white.

@ ponz111: I see your point, but in this single game the focus ist to survive as long as possible.

@AdvLegitimate and all other advaced players: Besides being very tactical, will trying the "evans gambit" bring me in a bad starting position concerning the focus of surviving long? (I´m asking, cause I spend some time on this now and see that as lost time, if I switch to another strategy now.)
