    Well, I have never played this Latvian Gambit. I haven't studied every opening in the opening books. I bet you don't know them all either. You probably just looked it up and now you are trying to act like a smartass.

    Hi Robbie.

    Not biting. Exuma and his gang of scoial misfits are trying to get me ranting
    about the Greco Counter and I'm not playing along.

    There is no surviving game where Philidor played the Philidor.

    Don`t attribute your ignorance to others.

    BTW it's called the [b]Greco Counter Gambit

    According to wikipedia, the Greco Counter Gambit is now called the Latvian Gambit. So apparently you need to move into the 21st century the same as me.

    Hey don't blame me! ;-) I'd like to see Pacifique v Ron J, Greco Latvian wrestling. Unrated
