| | keypusher: <Calli> As long as you're here, did you see <brankat>'s post on the Tarrasch page asking about Lasker's writings on the 1908 match? Since you had posted one of Lasker's columns (about game #9), I thought you might be able to help. |

| May-17-08 | | pawnofdoom: Since when was a guy with 4 games in the database a Player of the Day? Of course, Evans is an exception |

 | | Open Defence: <CAPTAIN EVANS AND HIS GAMBIT> A Hundred and Eighty years ago today,
Captain Evans gave us a gambit to play
It's been going in and out of style
But it's guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The gambit you've known for all these years
The Captain Evans Gambit aint half bad
The Captain Evans Gambit aint half bad
We hope you will enjoy the show
The Captain Evans Gambit aint half bad
Sit back and play 5.b4
Captain Evans Gambit, Captain Evans Gambit
The Captain Evans Gambit aint half bad
It's wonderful to play it
It's certainly a thrill
The tactics are so marvellous
We love to play 5.b4
We love to play b4
I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought that you might like to know
That Kasparov played it too
And he played it like something new
So let me introduce to you
The gambit you've known for all these years
The Captain Evans Gambit aint half bad

 | | MaxxLange: Evans Gambit.
Not Evans' Gambit. Not Evan's Gambit.
It's named after him, it doesn't belong to him. We don't speak of " The Najdorf's Sicilian". |

| | MaxxLange: We also used titles like "GAME THE FIRST".
I know I need to let this go, but it drives me insane. Like people talking about the "Advanced Variation of the French Defense". No! It's "Advance"!!!! |

 | | fm avari viraf: < Open Defence > I like your poetic thought on Evans Gambit & I do agree that it ain't half bad! |
|
| May-17-11 | | progrock64: How is the first letter of the name Evans pronounced? Like ever or like even? |
|
May-17-11
| | MaxxLange: like the 'e' in "ever" |
|
| May-17-11 | | progrock64: Thanks! |

| May-27-13 | | thomastonk: <Yopo> I have a database of old games, which confirms both opponents, but states that the game has been played 1836 in London. Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint Amant visited London in both years. A contemoprary source would be fine. "La Palamede" from 1836 has an article on Saint Amant's trip to London (p 186 et seq.), but I couldn't find the game in that volume. The game is presented in George Walker 's "Chess Studies" from 1844 as game no. 983. There are no names given, but the game before is played by "Capt. E**s" and "St.Amant". This games belongs to Chapter X, which contains games played during the last five to ten years. |
