| | Gambit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A gambit played by Black is often called a countergambit. | | | A rule of thumb often found in various primers on chess suggests that a player should get 3 moves of development for a sacrificed pawn, but it is unclear how useful this general maxim is since the "free moves" part of the compensation is almost never the entirety of what the gambiteer gains. | | | Time: the player accepting the gambit must take time to procure the sacrificed material and possibly must use more time to redirect the capturing piece after the material is taken. |

| | Italian Game and Evans Gambit - Jan Pinski: Chess Store |
| | The Italian Game (sometimes referred to as the Giuoco Piano) is one of the oldest openings around, and also one of the first lines a player learns when he or she is introduced to chess. | | | One of White's most exciting and attacking options is the legendary Evans Gambit, which has been brought back into the limelight in this modern era by such uncompromising players as World number one Garry Kasparov, Alexander Morozevich and England's Nigel Short. | | | The Italian Game gives both White and Black the opportunity to play either aggressively and in gambit fashion, or in a restrained and positional manner. |

| | Move Two |
| | So you can see that the Vienna Game is another opening that, if you learn it well, will enable you to score quick wins against players who haven't done their homework. | | | The finish is rather similar to some of the Danish Gambit games you saw in Chapter 13. | | | Even so, the King's Gambit has been played by such megastars as Fischer, Spassky, Judit Polgar and Nigel Short, and Kasparov has started a revival of the Evans Gambit. |

| | Everybody expected that when the Evans gambit was played a lively and interesting fight would result, but it was little thought that the struggle would be so short, sharp and decisive, and everybody present gave expression to their appreciation of the victor’s play by offering him their hearty congratulations. | | | The challenge, made by Steinitz, it will be remembered, was to the effect that he would undertake to play the defence four times in an Evans Gambit in his match with Gunsberg, from a certain point which had at that time been reached in his game against Tschigorin. | | | The whole play was quite familiar to everybody, and the game was accordingly welcomed by many as an old friend, for it is one which has perhaps been subjected to more scrutiny and criticism, comment and analysis, than any game previously recorded in the annals of chess. |

| | The Great Evans Gambit Debate |
| | If you're a master-strength player who is thinking about playing the Evans, Rohde's book is a must buy; though the $15.95 price tag for a scant 85 pages will make anyone think twice before they reach for their wallet (with a curse on their lips, no doubt). | | | It's funny to see how the Evans Gambit still captures the imagination of modern day players. | | | Clearly Rohde doesn't cover every line (Harding's 239 pages confirms this!), but he has written an important book for very strong players who seriously want to study this rich opening. |
