We now give two more games from the recent Franklin-Manhattan match. We are glad to see the Evans Gambit once more accepted. No doubt many players would be glad if there was a regulation requiring the Evans Gambit to be always accepted as the games arising from this attack are invariably most interesting and complicated, abounding in brilliant possibilities for both sides.
(a) We believe the more conservative continuance of Castles will in the long run be found preferable to the test move. Mlotkowski, however, has made a special study of the Evans Gambit, and it has been fully twenty years since we have worked on that opening where the gambit is accepted. Our reader therefore must use their own judgment in deciding whether Castles or P-Q4 is the strongest continuation for the attack.
(b) Q-K2 is now the usual continuation. The text move gives up the Gambit Pawn, but Black by so doing obtains a much freer game than if he had attempted to retain the Pawn. Besides, the move has the advantage of throwing both players on their own resources, and thus depriving White of the advantage of the analysis, on which, no doubt, he was well posted.
(c) A beautiful and unexpected sacrifice that wins by force.
