Evans is definitely a legit opening ,especially in blitz, you just have to know what to do and when like in every opening. And then ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!
Is the evans legit?

7. Nxe5 in this variation is inaccurate according to SF12, 7.Bd3 is more precise. Anyway, Black has no real advantage at the end of this variation, and both have equal chances. In order to consider an opening for White as refuted, it has to lead to a clear decisive advantage for Black with best play by both sides.
It is a fun opening with lots of tricks. When I was playing it I had a lot of quick wins against lower rated players... However, I found against stronger players who know how to defend I got often into trouble, because with 1 or 2 pawns down there is a lot of pressure to find "best moves" to keep the attack going or simply getting a lost position...

i'd say that it is the King of gambits (pun intended), even thought it is most likely equal with best play white gets tons of activity for the pawn and will most likely be able to recover it before move 30 or so, definitely a good weapon to fight weaker players
I play the Evans in bullet. It can be trappy for the unprepared.

I used to be an Evan's hater, but someone reformed my views on it. NExt scholastic tournament I go to, I will play the Evan
I bullied so many of my friends with the evans when I got back into chess, they now all play the Two Knights against me. So I had to switch my repertoire to vienna gambit, and I can't wait to beat them with that too lol
lmao
Really @SNUDOO ? Ironically, I used to play the ...Bc5 move in the Italian Game, but since switched to the Two Knights. The Evan's Gambit had nothing to do with it though. In fact, I loved facing the Evan's Gambit because I studied it a little and never had to go back to learn more (especially after switching to the Two Knights Defense).
Also, I played the Bronstein Defense against the Evan's Gambit all the time, but I never knew the opening name until just now! lol I just knew it was the ...Ba5 line (and ...d6 looked natural afterwards). @SNUDOO What is your opinion on the ...Be7 line instead? I personally never cared for playing it, but it looks like a simple way to just get a playable position.
It's actually pretty good, and annoying to play against. White should make some use of his center.
Je suis désolé, mais je comprends difficilement l(anglais. Je ne peux dès lors répondre à aucun message. Désolé.

I would play qb3 on move 6 instead of d4
Too early for Qb3 i think
Idk, but Be7 is a solid line for black. Usually you can get your pawn back though 
Yes, in the line I shown

I've practically never played either side of the Evans gambit myself, since I prefer the two knights defense against Bc5. Much easier for black to play for a win in those lines, whichever line white goes for. I've never fully trusted the Evans, my gut feeling has always been that white's playing for tricks and that black will be at least equal if he doesn't fall for them. With white, I prefer something more solid than that. Preferrably something that will give me a long-time advantage to press with little risk.
If I'm tired or for some other reason want to play something less risky I go for the Hungarian defense (3...Be7) instead. The latter is black's most solid reply, though it is a bit passive. The point of the move is that black gets on with developing without allowing white a target to strike at. Na4, b4 and Ng5 (since black, unlike in the Two Knights, can castle immediately after playing Nf6) ideas all pretty much just attacks nothing much. Transpositions to other openings are likely, but not to any lines that are particularly critical or dangerous for black.
Also, it IS "Evans gambit", not "Evan's gambit" as it's named after its inventor Captain William Evans.
Evans gambit has many tricks, yes, but white has a huge lead in development, and can always draw if he wants to.
Plus, If you are 1900- you have a big chance of getting a attacc to the face
I play the evans sometimes, but the Haxo Sarrat variation is better for me personally.
Scotch-Game-Scotch-Gambit-Haxo-Sarratt-Variation
No the evans is already refuted
give me a refutation that gives black a decisive advantage
But still white is not bad, and he has got his pawn back, and I mean not a lot of ppl find this
