Condition: Used

The Evans Gambit is one of White's boldest attempts to gain the initiative through an unrelenting series of hammer blows aimed to the Black position. In the past it was considered that "Lasker's Defense" would save Black from imminent disaster and inflict its own brand of counterattack. However, new research by GM Michael Rohde has opted for a move which puts the violent assault back into White's hands. See how Rohde documents Black's attempts to stop this steamroller... And then watch how he counteracts these moves with original, brave new analysis. Concurrently he takes on theoreticians GM Chandler, Harding, Moody, and others in a spirited debate to rehabilitate White's play after World Champion Garry Kasparov was twice successful in downing several top grandmasters in just the past few years. The play is sharp, brutal and requires respect and skill.
