THE EVANS GAMBIT
GM MAXIME VACHIER-LAGRAVE: UNPREDICTABLE TACTICS
13/May/2023 – Super GM Maxime Vachier Lagrave played flawlessly while Super GM Wesley So was not able to recover after the move 11.Nf7. What we learned from this game is that when the king is uncastled and stays at center, it will be difficult to develop immobile or cramped pieces. Black dictated the game from opening to the end. Fantastic game. I hope you learned how to play the “Evan’s Gambit”.
The 2nd featured game: Excellent game!!! This game is unique, it is packed with lots of tactics and strategic ideas. GM Sergei Zhigalko is a bloody warrior!!! Thank you for your support and enjoy your weekend. God Bless All of You…
But have a hot & delicious coffee first.
