We know the same moves fom Latvian gambit trasposition 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Nc3 d6 4.d4 fxe4 etc.<BR/> <BR/> The reply 5..Nf6 is the only correct one ( instead 5..d5?! ) and it has been tried by M. Downey ( first LG World Tournament champion ), Holland S. De Jong and I myself (!?). In "Myers Opening Butlletin", Maurits Wind already reccomended 6.Nxf6+ gxf6! but the line was already known by Alapin and Zuckertort who analyzed 6.Qe2 and 6.Bd3 respectively - I don't see anything after 6.Bg5 Be7 7.Nxf6+ Bxf6 8.Bxf6 gxf6 either or even 7..gxf6!? -.<BR/> <BR/> I have dotzens of games with 6.Nxf6+, if you want to see the most remarkables I could send you.<BR/> <BR/> With the move old move 5..d5?! I know 205 games.This one is also known in Latvian gambit circles from long time ago as dubtious, not only for 6.Nxe5!?, if not also specially on 6.Neg5 h6?! 7.Nf7! from a game Stepanov-Maljutin, Moscow, 1992 -.<BR/> <BR/> In the analysis of Jutta after 6. Nxe5 dxe4 7. Qh5+ g6 8. Nxg6 Nf6 ( 8...hxg6 9.Qxg6+! is less clear ) 9. Qe5+ Kf7 ( 9..Be7 is possible 10.Nxh8 Nc6 11.Bb5 Qd5 12.Bg5! and now 12..Bd7 from French Franz Destrebecq ) 10. Nxh8+ Kg8 ( 10..Kg7! is the correct reply, there are several games from James West; a probable continuation would be 11.Bh6+ Kxh8 12.Bxf8 Nc6 13.Be7!? Qxe7 14.Qxe7 Nxe7 15.Bc4 with a small plus ) 11. Nf7 ( or first 11.Bg5 ) 11..Nxf7 12. Bc4+ Kg7 13. Qg3+ Kh8 14. Bg5 .... advance for white.<BR/> <BR/> Of course I can talk on 4.Bc4; 4.exf5 and 4.dxe5 long time, but I prefer shorting this mail.<BR/> <BR/> Yours, Alejandro Melchor, Barcelona; Spain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
