Few openings teach the art of attack as directly as the Evans Gambit. After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4, White gives up a pawn to rip open the position, build a powerful center and head straight for the black king. The best part is that the tactics aren't forced or memorized. They arise naturally from the position, which makes the Evans the ideal opening for club players and ambitious juniors who want sharper, more confident results. But a great gambit is only half a repertoire. Across these two volumes, IM Andrew Martin gives you the complete picture after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3, with a clear, ready-to-play answer to everything Black can throw at you.
Vol. 1 is devoted to the Evans Gambit itself: the main lines, the critical tries, the key attacking plans and the traps every player should know, all explained with the clarity and enthusiasm Andrew Martin is known for.

You may adopt some of these ideas or all of them. Either way, you'll come away with a sharper eye for tactics and a repertoire that puts Black under pressure from the very first moves. Best suited to players rated up to 1800 who want to play for the initiative and win more games with White.
Andrew Martin also wrote a book for New in Chess on this subject which appeared at the same time as this video course. Here you can find the details: https://www.newinchess.com/the-evans-gambit
