The June 2012 Game of the Month from the BCM’s Games Editor, Andrew Martin, comes from the first round of the US Championship 2012 (8th May) between Hikaru Nakamura and Robert Hess played at the Chess Club and Scholastic Centre, Saint Louis, Missouri.
The Evans Gambit has provided many fascinating encounters over the years and still stands up as totally playable with new ideas to be explored.
