The Evans gambit was discussed at length by President Bartlett in a 3rd season episode of the West Wing! Does anyone remember the details? Cogent 07:20, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Correction/Clarification
I've removed this section from the article as I think it's more appropriate here:
The "Normal Postion" can be reached with either the 5...Ba5 or the 5...Bc5 bishop retreat (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.O-O d6 8.cxd4 Bb6 or 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bc5 6.d4 exd4 7.O-O d6 8.cxd4 Bb6. It is actually easier for black to reach the Normal Position with the 5...Bc5 option as white cannot deviate with an early Qb3 as black can disrupt the queen & bishop battery with Na5.
Is this correct?Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think so, Ba5 does prevent Na5 and thus allows an option for white of Qb3.ChessCreator (talk) 18:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
