That move wants to earn a tempo. It threatens 5.c3 and 6.d4 to have got predominance in the center.
But if you play white be careful to Lasker defence:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Ac4 Ac5 4.b4 B:b4 5.c3 Aa5 6.0-0 d6 7.d4 Ab6.
or 5...Ac5 6.d4 e:d4 7.0-0 d6.
These moves should advantage black and not white!

Solving Bobby Fischer (book review) — In the summer of 1972, the world’s attention was directed toward Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, to watch a championship chess match. Called “the Match of the Century,” the contest between the Russian chess champion, Boris Spassky, and the American challenger, Bobby Fischer, attracted that attention because of its cold war implications. But people were also fascinated by the mercurial Fischer — a prototypical genius whose incessant demands and unpredictability were more associated with the behavior of a diva than with what one expects from a master of a demanding game of logic. Fischer won the chess match in brilliant style, setting off a wave of enthusiasm for ...

Vasily Ivanchuk and Nigel Short produce memorable finish in Gibraltar — Gibraltar, backed by Tradewise Insurance, is the world's strongest open chess event next to Moscow Aeroflot. Its latest edition produced a memorable race as Vasily Ivanchuk and Nigel Short finished clear of the field with 9 and 8.5/10. The Ukrainian won their individual game, both had very high rating performances and Ivanchuk jumped to No5 in the world. Tradewise Gibraltar overlaps with the great Dutch chess event at Wijk and Zee and its dates are close to Aeroflot, yet it continues to gain in popularity due to the Rock's benign January climate, its high prizes and its efficient and friendly organisers. Its awards for women start with £10,000 for first, more than the winning man receives at ...

There is a lot of theory to the Evans, more than one could cover in a post. It is interesting to compare Morphy's and Anderssen's approach to the game. Anderssen always makes a threat when he moves, if the threat involves developing a piece it's a coincident, while Morphy makes a effort to develop a piece. While Morphy also likes to make threats he places a premium on development. If you Google the Evans Gambit you can find quite a bit of theory. I believe there are some articles at chesscafe.com which you should find when you do your search.

King Tut in Chess Puzzles — King Tutankhamun, or simply King Tut, is the most famous Egyptian pharaoh. He was called the boy-king since he was only nine-years-old when his 10-year reign began in 1,333 B.C. He died at the age of 19 and his tomb, undisturbed for 3,245 years, was well-preserved when it was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. King Tut's golden burial mask became the symbol of ancient Egypt. But how did he make it into chess? Protecting a king is vital in every chess game and pawns are best suited to do the job. When the pawns surround the king in chess problems and studies, we see some beautiful and astonishing creations. Entombing the king became a popular theme among chess composers ...

Iranian Claims Chess Record — To the intense rivalry between Israel and Iran add another facet: the game of chess. In a literal game of one-upmanship, an Iranian chess grandmaster played 614 people simultaneously on Tuesday and Wednesday at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran in an attempt to break a world record set by an Israeli chess grandmaster last October. According to a report in Agence France-Presse, the Iranian, Ehsan Ghaem Maghami, 28, won 590 games, lost 8 and drew 16 in an exhibition that took 25 hours. The Israeli grandmaster, Alik Gershon, 30, played 523 games over 19 hours, beating 454, losing 11 and drawing 58. Mr. Gershon broke the previous record set by ...

World’s Top Chess Players on Hand for Aeroflot Open — The Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival, which ended last week, is a popular chess tournament, attracting many strong players. And the World Open, which is held every year in the Philadelphia area around Independence Day, usually has more than 1,000 chess players between all its sections. But for sheer quality of competition, the annual Aeroflot Open, which starts on Tuesday, trumps them all. Sponsored by the Russian airline, the chess tournament is divided in three sections. The A group usually features many of the world’s top chess players, and this year is no different. Twenty-six of the world’s top 100 players are competing, and 73 of the 87 players in the top section are ...

Youtube is good because they play out the game on a chess board rather than having to follow chess notation - but iguess it is a matter of personal preference:)

The Evans is wonderful fun, but can get very positional and boring if black declines.
