It is based on the idea of achieving a lead in +development and in any case setting up a strong pawn centre. Openings of this +sort are called gambits, from the Italian "dare un gambetto" (to trip someone +up). At one point they were the meat and drink of chess - at a time when all +play was aimed at either mate or achieving an overwhelming advantage. Even +today when they are not so frequently played, they are still a dangerous +weapon in the hands of an inventive attacking player. Bei dieser Eroeffnung, +dem "Evans-Gambit", benannt nach einem englischen Seekapitaen, der sie um etwa +1840 herum aufgebracht hat, treffen wir ein Bauernopfer an. Es beruht auf dem +Gedanken, einen Vorsprung in der Entwicklung zu erreichen und sich auf jeden +Fall ein starkes Bauernzentrum zu bilden. Eroeffnungen dieser Art nennt man +"Gambite", eine Bezeichnung die vom italienischen "dare un gambetto" (ein Bein +stellen) herruehrt. Sie waren einstmals, d.h. zu Zeiten, in denen man nur +darauf spielte, entweder zu siegen oder einer Uebermacht zu erliegen, gang und +gaebe. Heute hingegen werden sie nur noch selten gespielt, sie sind aber in +den Haenden eines erfindungsreichen Angriffsspielers immer noch eine scharfe +Waffe.} 4... Bxb4 5. c3 Ba5 6. d4 exd4 7.

But since +the strength of the pawns is not evident in this sort of position but comes to +the fore only in simplified positions, the prospect is not all that rosy. This +explanation tells us the goals of the protagonists. Anderssen will try to +bring about a decision by a violent attack since he has an extra piece to play +with. Mayet on the other hand will aim for multiple exchanges and at the same +time will have to secure the position of his king as best he can. Von nun +an muss er auf die Kraft der drei Bauern hoffen, die er fuer die Figur erhaelt. +Doch da die Bauern ihren vollen Wert nicht in einer Stellung wie dieser, +sondern erst in vereinfachten Stellungen erhalten, ist diese Aussicht wenig +beruhigend. Aus der vorangegangenen Erklaerung ergeben sich bereits die Ziele +der beiden Streitenden. Anderssen wird es darauf anlegen, die Entscheidung in +einem heftigen Angriff herbeizufuehren, den er mit einer Figur mehr spielen +kann.

Один из основных методов борьбы с этим началом — принять гамбитную пешку, чтобы затем в подходящий момент вернуть ее для завершения развития.
