Evans Gambit (1.e4, e5 2.Nf3, Nc6 3.Bc4, Bc5 4.b4, Bxb4 5.c3), a gambit
that some aggressive grandmasters still use, like Kasparov’s former
contender for the World chess crown, Nigel Short

The Bishop's Opening and The Urusov Gambit System by Michael Goeller
1-The Bishop's Opening covers 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 with all Black alternatives to 2....Nf6. The focus is on exciting gambit lines, so don't expect to find anything pianisimo here. The idea is to help you play against people afraid to enter the Urusov zone.
2-The Urusov Gambit covers play after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4 with attention to 3....exd4 4.Nf3, the Urusov Gambit proper. This is the most extensive analysis of the Urusov available anywhere in print, with a great collection of games. If you like to play the Urusov Gambit, you've come to the right place.
The little-known 3-Dimock Theme Tournament of 1924 featured such famous American players as Marshall, Torre, and Santasiere contesting lines stemming from 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4. A great piece of chess history and theory. Play over the games from this "lost" event right on the web.
4-The Perreux Variation of the Two Knights Defense (arising after 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.Ng5) is one of the most forcing and least covered lines in the Two Knights, featuring exciting play with chances for both sides. This site also includes links to analysis and games in other lines of the Two Knights Defense.

3. Nc3 Nf6 (3... Be7 {Very interesting move. Ideas here is to prevent Bg5
immediately}) 4. Nf3 (4. cxd5 Nxd5 {A rare move but White needs to know what
to do here to be able to get some advantage} (4... exd5 {The usual move here}
5. Bg5 Be7 6. e3 O-O 7. Bd3 c6 8. Nge2 {I like the Knight on e2 here instead
of f3} Nbd7 9. Qc2 Re8 10. O-O {Just a line} Nf8 {[%cal Gf2f3,Ge3e4] Here we
have the idea to pla f3 and e4} 11. f3 {Usually in this kind of structure
White's plan is Rb1 and b4-b5 and starts a minority attack , but when you put
the knight on e2 you have the idea of playing f3 which i prefer in this kind
of position})) 4... c5 5. cxd5 Nxd5 6. e4 Nxc3 7. bxc3 cxd4 8. cxd4 {The Main
move here for Black is Bb4+ but Black played ...Nc6 this gives White extra
option, so what can White play here?} Nc6 9. a3 {Keeping the bishops on the
board and that gives White advantage because White is trying to attack, he has
the control of the center and with more pieces on the board it is easier to
attack. So if you play this as Black you should play ...Bb4+ first} Be7 10. Bd3

White is fighting for advantage [#]} 12. Kf1 {Now the game is going to be
very sharp because i lost my right to castle and Black will try to do some
ideas , Black will do some positions threats and White have to play the right
moves to stop these threats.} (12. Nd2 {Not ideal because you lose time by
bringing the Knight back and then foreword}) (12. Qd2 Qxd2+ 13. Kxd2 {About
equal}) 12... b6 {What is the idea behind this move? [#] Black is trying
to play Ba6 exchanging the bishop and if he can manage to exchange this bishop
and quickly put his rocks on C8 and d8 it will be extremely difficult to
attack because Black is very solid here, no weakness in the king side, so
without light square bishops White's attacking chances it will be very little,
so White can't allow Ba6 so how he can prevent that?} 13. Qe2 Bb7 {Planning ...
Rc8 and ...Rd8 so how can White attack here? Try to find a plan for White not
just the next move ? [#]} 14. h4 {[%cal Gh1h3,Gh3g3] Planning Rh3-g3, one of
