The Evans Gambit gives one queenside pawn to pull Black's c5-bishop off balance and build c3 and d4 with tempo. Learn when Qb3 makes f7 the target, how d5 and Qa4+ punish slow defense, and how Black's ...d5 break or an early queen trade can stop the attack.
Follow eight guide routes: four from White's side and four from Black's. Build the accepted-line battery, punish the compromised c3 capture, spring the Qa4+ fork, then study the main ...d5 break, Anderssen setup, Lasker queen trade, and declined defense. Complete any line to save its progress locally.

Source position: the lines, legal moves, and evaluations come from the Evans Gambit guide. Its five tests appear here with their answers: Bxb4 (+0.06), Bxd3 (+3.61), bxc5 (+4.73), bxc5 (+4.74), and Kxf2 (+3.46).
These 16 positions cover accepting or declining b4, the c3-d4 center, Qb3 pressure, two loose-bishop tests, the Qa4+ fork, Black's ...d5 break, and the Lasker simplification. Every Learn route appears twice, and each wrong choice is legal with an immediate board consequence.

Choose one of six Evans Gambit starts and set the bot from 600 to 2500. The coach recognizes the pawn offer, accepted center, Qb3 battery, compromised c3-pawn, Anderssen tempo, main ...d5 break, Lasker trade, declined structure, and Qa4+ fork.
The six starts contain the seven-move base, all four seeded book variations, and the Qa4+ fork set piece. Each assigns White and Black opposite, observable targets.
