King's gambit or Evans

I am looking to study an attacking opening for white after the reply 1...e5.

I used to play the Exchange Ruy whenever posible because I was comfortable in queenless middlegames but now I am looking to improve both my tactics and my dynamic understanding of chess to overcome my passiveness and over reliance in endgame technique to win against my oponents (I am not even good enough to rely on endgames to win like Capablanca or Andersson it just happens to be what I am best at).

I believe that either the Evans or the King's gambit will be a good way of improving those aspects of chess I mentioned but which one should I study?

KG needs more time to study cuz of numerous ramifications. 

I like them both and use them both. I think that Evans is more solid. However, Evans requires more cooperation from your opponent; a lot of people play a 2 knights defense against 3. Bc4. Therefore, King's gambit is better in that it is more likely that you will be able to play it. The King's gambit leads to a lot of sharp crazy lines, so if you like that kind of play, it is the choice for you.

There is a very nice free course on the king's gambit at chessable.com. It is not hard to learn.

Personally, of the two, I prefer the King's Gambit. Simply because you have so many choices of ideas to choose from after exf4....you have the sound stuff with Nf3 and Bc4...the less sound stuff after Qf3 and Nc3....and the bad stuff after d4

Go King's Gambit! Evans Gambit belong to the 19th Century. 

imo Evans > King's Gambit objectively, but King's Gambit can be more fun.

Another "attacking" system of development..... 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4....The Bishop's Opening....this is a very flexible system of development which can morp/evolve into many different openings including typically the Vienna Game/Gambit, Scotch Gambit, The King's Gambit - Bishop's Gambit, among others...

Some good books on The Evans Gambit...

Play The Evans Gambit  by Tim Harding and Bernard Cafferty

Evans Gambit And A System vs Two Knights Defense, (Revised 2nd Ed.), also by Tim Harding

The Great Evans Gambit Debate by Michael Rohde

Perhaps worthwhile to consider what books are appropriate for someone with an ~1300 rating. Also age of books.

Feel free to obsess over these things for us Spongey. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Are "obsess" and "mention" equivalemt?

Not for me, but maybe for you

Who was it who mentioned some issues? Who was it who chose to react by bringing the word, "obsess", into the discussion?

I made a recommendation for several good books on the Evans Gambit.  You decided to respond by suggesting that I should consider what is appropriate when making book recommendations.  My view is that if you feel compelled to say this to me, it indicates to me that you are obsessed with the issue.  Furthermore, if you continue debating this, then your obsession will be confirmed.  We've both had our say, and made our points, so I suggest that we just let this particular discussion die, and move on.  I'm done debating minutia with you.

Making a comment that does not mention you and begins with "Perhaps worthwhile to consider …" is appropriately taken as a suggestion to you as to what you "should" consider?

Is there a way for me to mention issues without a reaction from you about obsession?

RussBell wrote: … Furthermore, if you continue debating this, then your obsession will be confirmed. ...

Is there a way to react to your obsession commentary without being regarded as obsessed by you?

For God's sakes Spongey.....can you not stop??  Or are you obsessed with this??

The king's gambit rocks. It always will.
