Why Play the Evans Gambit?

By giving up a single pawn, White gets active piece play and immediate threats. This gambit was even played by legends like Garry Kasparov, and currently the best players (including Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana) try it occasionally in games with quick time controls.
