something about you blundering.. which 100000 tactics later hasn't happened. This is getting really really frustrating.

You put capablanca's gambit countering skills to shame!

In fact, I just changed my profile in your honour.

for black there isn't much gambit possibility against 1.e4 e5... that opening really requires alot of book knowledge on main lines like the ruy lopez, phildors defence, scotch game or giucio piano... they all involve fighting for initiative and piece activity is probably the most important aspect of these openings. If you can find a good pawn gambit it will usually be in the middle game... or so I have found.

I completely agree with you, my pawn gambit there with the latvian was just a fun experiment. But you know what, I really like the latvian (despite the fact that I'm getting my PoTaTo kicked.
