Captain Evans Standard Chess
About Tournament
Captain William Davies Evans (27 January 1790 – 3 August 1872) was a seafearer and inventor, though he is best known today as a chess player. He is buried at the Belgian port of Ostend.
Around 1825-1826, on shore leave in London, Evans played Alexander Macdonnell, beating the latter with what is now regarded in chess circles as the first creation of the Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4).
