Combinations 08.10.05
Morphy against Golmayo in an 1864 Havana simul.
After the 14th move, Morphy has a knight pinned to his opponent's King. The manner in which Morphy adds an attacker to the immobilized knight is very instructive. Enjoy.

By the time Hastings 1895 rolled around, several players had a way to handle the Evans gambit. Blackburne ( who was inpsired by Morphy) was one as well as Chigorin, both known for their innovative opening ideas, saw that after 5.c3 playing 5...Ba5 keeps the pressure on the c-pawn. Chigoran also knew that the queen side is a hot bed for diagonal activity and getting a knight to a5 via c6 helped to neutralize this.
Chigoran won a special prize for the best score against the Evans Gambit at HAstings!

Off topic: I am now doing Chessimo or whatever it's called nowadays. I like it. Are you still hacking away at it?
@blunderprone: I do like the Evans Gambit, but alas, well over 100 years ago some figured out how to play against it.
@bdk: I only use Chessimo (PCT) on occassion these days. I stay tactically sharp mostly using books and ChessTempo.com.
