Recently I was rewatching some of TV-series The West Wing when I saw this is scene and it made me chuckle.

The first time I watched these episodes was a long time ago. This whole exchange in the clip made no sense to me at all. Now that I know more about chess I get what he's saying. It still makes no sense to me, but now it's no longer my fault.

Those chess positions have nothing to do with the Evans Gambit.

It is the Evans Gambit they're playing. The weird part is that he recognizes the Evans Gambit after 1. e4
