I was wondering what is the main line after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Bc4. Any Latvian Gambit player willing to help me?

My copy of MCO 14 gives 3. ... fxe4 4.Nxe5 Qg5 5. d4 Qxg2 6. Qh5+ g6 7. Bf7+ Kd8 8. Bxg6 Qxh1+ 9. Ke2 c6 10. Nc3 e3 described as a "bloodcurdling position arises that has been analyzed and played by the great Paul Keres". Seems an appropriate description.

I don't like giving away varations, so ask User 124624.

3...fxe4 4.Nxe5 d5 is probably black's best.
