Does anyone have any games where they have used the Evan's Gambit successfully? If you do, could you post them here?

I used to love this opening! I don't have any of my games to show, but have you seen Fischer vs Fine from 1963?

This was my first ever Evans Gambit. As black I was destroyed.

Game 2233587

Since then I have taken more care and not lost again against it.

You are welcome. But I don't know how useful it will be to you as it it more of an Evans Gambit Deferred, due to Black playing the zwischenzug (LOL) 3...h6 - and his play does not improve any that.

2 games where we use set pieces, as in we set up the evan's gambit and play from it there that way it's unrated. we each get to play as black and white so that we can see what it's like from both point of views...
