PS: All this does not make sense if you answer that you got him in the opening 🙂
I wont say that Latvian gambit is so sound as Sicilian for example, but this opening is strongly underrated.

I haven't play it against you yet, let's see what happens.
I have a pristine copy of Kosten's book in front of me now. £6 from paperbacks_plus via amazon.
Will definately try this in a few games here.
If these go well I think I may also try the Latvian OTB at my club & maybe post some games here, providing they aren't embarrassments!

Game 3941618 I really liked this game. At the end, my spicy tactics won the game for me. 🙂
Oh and Korch, please don't comment on my opening. Just trying it out. 😉
My 10 minute games with cludi. Unfortunately my opponent disconnected, but anyway - in final position black is winning. 🙂
