Latvian Gambit | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. exf5 e4 4. Ne5 Nf6 5. Be2 Be7 6. Bh5+ Kf8 7. d4 |
Better moves would be: 7. Nc3 Rg8 8. Nxe4 d6 9. Nf7 Qd7 10. Nfg5 Qxf5 11. g4 Qb5 12. Qf3 Rh8 13. d3 d5 14. Nc3 Qb4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... exd3 e.p. 8. Nxd3 d6 9. Qf3 |
Nicer moves: 9. Bf3 Nc6 10. g4 d5 11. Nc3 Nd4 12. O-O Nxf3+ 13. Qxf3 d4 14. Ne4 h5 15. Nxf6 Bxf6 16. Re1 hxg4 17. Qxg4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Bd7 |
… Nc6 10. Be3 Qd7 11. Nc3 Nxh5 12. Qxh5 Qxf5 13. Qxf5+ Bxf5 would make the game even. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. O-O |
Nothing significant just a small miscalculation: … Rb8 12. Re1 Nxh5 13. Qxh5 Qe8 Game would be even with … Nxh5 12. Qxh5 Qe8 13. Qh3 Qf7 14. g4 g6 15. fxg6 Qxg6 16. Qf3+ Ke8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Nc6 11. c3 Rb8 12. Be3 a6 |
… Qc8 13. Bg5 Bxf5 14. Bxf6 Bxf6 is improved. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Nb4 |
Small inaccuracy: 13. Nb4 Ne5 14. Qd1 Nxh5 15. Qxh5 Qe8 16. Qxe8+ Rxe8 17. Nd5 Bd8 18. f6 gxf6 19. Nd2 Kf7 20. Ne4 Rhg8 gives a slight advantage. Best: 13. Re1 Kg8 14. Nd2 Nxh5 15. Qxh5 Qf8 16. g4 Be8 17. Qh3 h5 18. g5 Bd7 19. Ne4 Qxf5 20. Qg2 | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Ne5 14. Qe2 |
Here is a big mistake by white: 14. Qe2 c5 15. Nc2 Bb5 16. Qd1 Bxf1 17. Kxf1 Qd7 18. Nd2 Qxf5 19. Be2 Kf7 20. Nf3 Rhe8 21. Nxe5+ Qxe5 (he is down by 2 points). Something very simple like 14. Qd1 Nxh5 keeps things even. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bxf5 |
Here Bb5 pins the queen and rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Rd1 |
Mistake is seen here: 5. Rd1 Nxh5 16. Qxh5 Bg4 17. Qxe5 dxe5 18. Rxd8+ Rxd8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... c6 |
Much better would be: … Nxh5 16. Qxh5 Bg4 17. Qxe5 dxe5 18. Rxd8+ Rxd8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Na3 |
Simple improvement 16. Bf4 Qc7 17. Na3 a5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bg6 |
Blunder: … Bg6 17. Bxg6 hxg6 18. Nd3 Nxd3 19. Qxd3 d5 20. Qxg6 Bxa3 21. bxa3 Qd6 22. h3 Qxa3 23. Bf4 Re8 24. Rab1 returns the advantage to the opponent. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Bxg6 hxg6 18. h3 a5 19. Nd3 Nfd7 20. Nxe5 Nxe5 21. Nc2 Kg8 22. Nd4 Qd7 23. Nf3 |
Nb3 could be an alternate move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Bf6 |
Much better would be:… Rh5 24. Nxe5 Rxe5 25. Qc4+ Kh8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Bg5 |
Big blunder... 24. Bf4 Nf7 25. Rd3 g5 keeps things closer. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Nxf3+ 25. Qxf3 Bxg5 26. Qe4 Rh6 27. Rd3 Re8 |
Rf8 is possibly better? | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Qc4+ |
White is at a disadvantage here. Qc4+ isnt the best move and 28. Rxd6 Qf7 would give him a chance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... d5 29. Qc5 Qd8 |
… Re2 30. Qxa5 Rxb2! | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Qa7 |
Small inaccuracy in my opinion. | ||||
