Chess Openings: Latvian Gambit
Loading...
Uploaded by thechesswebsite on Mar 9, 2010
The Latvian Gambit is one of the most aggressive gambits in chess and many top players find it quite dubious. For the rest of us though, it has great results for black and can really catch a white player off guard.

@MrMishka212 u make no sense
-
Really doesn't seem very well thought through... The variations not discussed are far better, plus did anyone else notice that queen to d4 is checkmate? How is that overlooked :-/
-
why not at 5:22 queen to h5 so check and you win the queen?
-
bad opening it's so dangerous opening not recommend to play
-
03:40 after bishopc5,white should play d4 and white wins
-
queen d4 - mate?
-
I wanna give White an Epic Fail immediately!
-
But lets say instead of 4.exf5 white responds w/ 4.Qh5+
the king must move or he drops the rook because of
4.Qh5+ g6 5.Nxg6!!!
now your left with a pinned pawn and hanging rook
so the best way to open with black is
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Nxe5 Qf6!!
buying a tempo,guarding the back door,and preparing for the take on e4 though it will be hard for black to get his kight out he could possible get to f5
original suggestion
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Nxf3 Bc5

@Azkadaz Whether a notation is 'accepted' or not is relative to the individual--I find it highly disrespectful not to accept the notation that was used by the likes of Morphy, Anderssen, and Zukertort, but if you want to, that's your choice. BOTH players keep a game score in chess, after all.

Kevin?
If the King moves to g1 (after Qh4+) then Qd4 is mate. I think.
Actually listening "blindfolded" today as I forgot my glasses...
and, hope this makes sense, but, I can't even check it to see if it IS correct.
Ahhhh. Getting older.
What an ADVENTURE!
(What? An adventure!?)

@McKraezy 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5!? 3. Nxe5 Bc5!? 4. exf5 Bxf2+! 5. Kxf2 Qh4+ 6. g3?! Qd4+ 7. Kg2 Qxe5 8. Qe2 and after ...Nc6 or ...d6! Black is doing fine, as he may very well win back the pawn (if White tries to hold on with g4, Black plays ...h5!) and keep a solid position. You have to trust your piece activity in these positions! The 'extra pawn' doesn't count for much, IF White can hold it, and Black is solid...anyways, 6. Kf3 holds onto the piece and is definitely a stronger try for White!
