Italian Game and then Evan's Gambit

So, I use to always play Queen's gambit, but then I was interested in trying to do the Evan's Gambit. Unfortunately, it never goes into it. Every time, it ends up being some italian game, 4 knights variation. And I end up being in unfamiliar territory.

Let me show you a game:

it looks close enough, but I'm not someone who would know.  it looks like evans gambit declined.

Yeah, it looks like it, but I can't verify it for sure. Every other game I've had with italian opening ends up sorta badly for me.

@Anthony, so you are saying Paul Morphy is silly to use Evan's gambit?

@DrizztD thank you captain obvious.

@jarkov How does a passed pawn give you any advantage, seems more suicidal.

@trigs What is this? Makes 0 sense.

HA! I'm just trying to help you out. You realize you were the one saying you wanted to play the Evans, but you never could get into it. I'm just giving you the move order, because what you played in your first post isn't an Evans AT ALL.

Wow wow wow, slow down a minute.  You are going to switch from the Queen's Gambit to the Evans Gambit?   That is a really difficult switch because the openings share no common traits.  You ae playing a d4 game compared to the e4 game.  If you want to play the the Evans, be prepared for the other responses you will see. 

For example, I have to know several sicilian lines, the pirc, the russian defense, a few caro-kann lines, the Nimzovich Defense, the Scandinavian Defense, the Latvian Gambit, the Elephant Gambit, the Two Knights Defense, the Italian Gambit, the Moller Attack in the Italian, the Traxler, the Goring Gambit, the French, the Modern Defense, the Alekhine's Defense, and the Owen's Defense for when I play 1.e4.

I would base my repertoire on a more general e4 opening and study appropriate lines to other responses.  The Evans Gambit is somewhat rare, but can be a part of your repertoire although not you base opening.

@Drizz yes but as you can see in the game, black did not play 3...Bc5

So I cannot get into Evan's Gambit. And yes, I do need to know other openings as the Evan's Gambit is rare indeed.

@Conq, thank you for explaining, this is what I was wondering. At my 1300-1500 level, what openings would I need to learn (or what black openings do I need to counter with what white openings starting with an italian game)?

Or should I simply stick to Queen's Gambit and the various continuations involved in decline/accept??

theres no passed pawn in the max lange.

I forgot you wanted things to be positional like the QG. . then I would stick with the d3 move, but just play it like a lopez. (then again you could be just playing a lopez anyway) so conquistador is right.

Okay, in your first post you've got a problem because black is not playing the Italian game.  He's playing the "2 knights defense".  You can't play evans against that opening, although you can try the "fried liver attack" which is quite fun.   Evans is a variation of the "Italian game" (also known as the Giuco piano.  (I hope my spelling is correct).  So, if you're going to play e4 and looking for attack you can't alwasy play evans.  Sorry, but that's life.
