mejores especialistas, y se llegó a la conclusión de que el Negro obtenía buenas chances de contraataque en el flanco de Rey, y que si mas no, sus
posibilidades eran tan dignas como las del Blanco en el centro y en el flanco de Dama. Sin embargo, con la ayuda de los módulos de análisis actuales, estas aseveraciones no parecen tan correctas, y de ello trataremos las siguientes líneas. A partir de la posición mostrada, veamos someramente unas pocas variantes, que
quedarán claramente ejemplarizadas en las partidas que les siguen: <b>15.£b3</b> J.
Nunn asigna un signo ! a esta jugada; la idea es simplemente reubicar la Dama. Pero

It's true, I did not ask permission to Brian Wall to publish his part, but I publish on this blog because it is very interesting ... I think! Comments are from Brian.<br />

The game in PGN format:<br />
<br />
[Event "Corner Bakery blitz"]<br />
[Site "Denver USA"]<br />
[Date "2013.09.21"]<br />
[Round "1"]<br />
[White "Bekkedahl Zachary (USA)"]<br />
[Black "Wall Brian (USA)"]<br />
[Result "1-0"]<br />

<br />
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Bc4<br />
{This is what Zach played against Hartsook in a slow game. GM John Nunn in<br />
SECRETS OF PRACTICAL PLAY and IM Pfren on the lively Latvian Chess.com thread<br />
insist 3 Nc3 wins with no muss or fuss. Pfren even called the Latvian Gambit<br />
"stupid". Pfren was interested in refuting the Gambit with a minimum of time<br />
and energy. I get this tude a lot with Jack Young's Fishing Pole. They can't<br />
enjoy the ideas, just get me out of here as soon as possible. IM Jeremy Silman<br />
calls idiots who won't listen to how unsound their gambits are "rapists",<br />
meaning they write meaner and meaner comments the more you refute their analysis.}<br />
fxe4 4.Nxe5 d5 5.Qh5+ g6 6.Nxg6 hxg6 {Jack Woehr mentioned 6 ... Nf6 but David and I don't like this line}<br />
7.Qxg6+ {7 Qxh8 looks dubious for Black but hordes of Latvian afficiandos, Hartsook<br />
included, are willing to play this. I tried it out with Rybka 3 and the results<br />
were interesting. It was very easy for White to get in trouble or lose any advantage. Very scary for White even if it wins.}<br />
Ke7 {This was the subject of 1878 George Brunton Fraser analysis. David played 7<br />
... Kd7, lost 4 pawns for a Bishop and the ensuing endgame. A nice performance<br />
by Zach. I believe Clyde Nakamura prefers 7 ... Kd7 or cites analysis of those<br />
who do. I don't know which move is better but I was trying to improve on the Bekkedahl-Hartsook game.}<br />
8.d4 {On 8 d3 Bh6 is OK but 8 d4 Bh6 is not OK due to Qe5+ later %08DA}<br />
e3 {!!N Stefan Buecker mentioned this improvement over George Brunton Fraser's analysis in Chesse Cafe, Latvian Gambit article.}<br />
9.Bxe3 Qd6 10.Bg5+ Kd7 11.Qxd6+ {The idea of 8 ... e3!! is revealed after 11 Qf5+ Qe6+ and White has to trade Queens}<br />
Kxd6 12.Bd3 Bh6 13.Bxh6 Nxh6 14.O-O Nc6 15.c3 Bf5 16.Bxf5 Nxf5<br />
17.Nd2 {I eventually lost on time in a dead drawn ending of my King and Knight versus a King and a few doomed pawns by Zach}<br />
1-0<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> The Latvian Gambit is
an opening, where </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">black after 1 e4
e5 2 Nf3 responds with 2</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">...f5. This name to
the opening was </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">granted by FIDE
because of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">widespread research
that was done in </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Latvia. Although in
some variations </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">positional type of
play takes place, the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Gambit has the chief
characteristic that </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">usually after a few
moves a complicated, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">combinatory game
starts. Often black </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">manages to overcome
his difficulties with </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">various tactical
swindles. Strategic </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">considerations often
disappear and tactics </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">dominate. Often white
is about to win, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">when black finds
saving resources. The </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">main disadvantage of
the Gambit however </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">are, first, that in
many variations white </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">has a considerably
superior development, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">and second, that
black cannot avoid </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">variations that lead
to a forced draw. But, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">as a draw by black is
theoretically </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">acceptable, the
Gambit has its value.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">What are the Gambit’s prospects? Will </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">its only value be as
an academic </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">discussion by
theoreticians, or will it be </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">usable not only in
correspondence play </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">but also in over‑the‑board
play? The </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">answer will be
forthcoming once the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">theory is better
understood. Until that </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">happens players may
feel unwilling to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">commit themselves to
unknown, risky </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">variations and select
instead the well </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">known, safe openings,
of which there is </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">no shortage. So below
I will introduce the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">reader with those
finds that have come </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">forth in the forty
years since I commenced </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">my research. That
research I started </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">because around year
1900 chess </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">theoreticians, in
particular the well known </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">GM Dr S Tarrasch,
were doubtful as to the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">manner in which the defense
is to be </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">organized in the
Spanish game and its four </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">knights variations,
because the previous </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">years results clearly
showed that white </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">were better of, and
black’s choice of this </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">opening was quite
risky. That made me </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">get started in
searching for alternate </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">defenses to the
Spanish 2 ... Nc6. I did not </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">like the Russian defense
2 ... Nf6 either, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">so my thoughts turned
to 2...f5, which the available theory had rejected as insufficient and not
worthwhile discussing. ‑ Here I should add, that the doubts about the solidness
of the Spanish game proved baseless and it is as sound as ever.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The first research
into 2 ...f5 was unpromising and only shear persistence revealed that many of the prevalent
objections were quite baseless. I also became aware that I had undertaken a big
task indeed and to fathom all the complications required endless hours. When
asked why I persisted, I can only make the comparison between going for a walk
on a well paved road, as against
choosing a mountain path instead: many of us choose the latter. There is
also the satisfaction of mastering a particularly difficult subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In practical play the
gambit has shown good results to date, particularly in correspondence chess.
This was particularly so in the correspondence match between the Swedish Chess
Federation and the Seniors klub of Riga. The present chairman of the Latvian
Chess Association prof. Dr Arv. Kalnins made the initial contact in 1934, on
which the Swedish Chess Federation agreed to play 4 games (later a fifth one
was added) with the white pieces, using different variations. Separate Stockholms
klubs were chosen with well known Swedish masters in the forefront. The Seniors
klub selected a committee to conduct the play. Under my leadership the klubs
best players of prof. Dr. A. Kalnins, architect P Dreimanis, A Kannenbergs and
composer Emils Melngailis went into battle. After 2 years play the result was surprising:
Riga won three games, while the other two games were drawn! Of course, that
does not mean that in the “Latvian Gambit” we have found the only answer to the
moves 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3. On the contrary, I accept that that the solid 2 ... Nc6 is
certainly not a worse answer. Of course, this cannot be finally answered by
superficial comments or casual analysis in various publications, as is
unfortunately happening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> The following
theoretical variations should by no means be considered as final, but rather as
a try to establish the gambit as a serious and sound opening, presenting the
main variations and tested lines on which the idea of the gambit rests in an organized
manner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Karlis was born 27 Oct 1867 on the family
farm named “Betini” in the Berzmuiza Municipality. He was raised within a chessplaying
circle, his both brothers being top players at the time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">
The youngest Roberts Betins (1875-) won the Baltic Chess Champions Title
in the first Baltic Chess Congress tournament in 1899, but he did not
participate in tournaments later. He also composed some interesting Endings
with a special “catch”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> The
eldest, Janis (born 1856), became known within the European circles as one of
the best composers of chess endings. The art was not too widespread in those
days, and the only well known names were Kling and Horvitz. Around 1890 Janis
started to break new ground in paying greater attention to the principles of
economy, but in particular he took his problems to a greater depth. His
problems, although quantitatively he did not produce too many, were acclaimed
for their captivating development and depth, and were partly responsible for
the subsequent growth of this branch of chess.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">
Many Rigans followed Janis enterprising talents. Dr. Phil. J. Zevers
became a well known Endings composer and he published his work in a book. These
Endings were lighter in style, but appealing. Then came the unforgettable H.
Matisons, whose creative Endings earned top prizes in many European tourneys
(most of them being included in the book mentioned in the title). In addition,
the brothers Platovs and brothers Kubelis were acclaimed for their composing
art. It is certain that the Rigans of those days were in forefront in
developing the art of endgame compositions and from there it spread to the rest
of the chess world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Karlis Betins was introduced to chess at about
13, and he also started composing. Soon he was mastering the art and in about
1890 a “mate in 3" ending of his won a prize in a “Munch. N.Nachr.” </span><span lang="EN-GB">tournament</span><span lang="EN-US">. A
delegation from the “First Riga Chess Club” (1. Rigas Sacha Biedriba) invited
him to join. Here he was in touch with many of the best players of the time,
and this gave Betins an excellent overall chess education. In the Club’s 10
year jubilee tournament 1900/1 he was ready and he came first. Second place
went to P Bols, third/fourth P Kerkoviuss and St. Mikutovics, fifth T Germanis,
and then V. Zamuels and E. Vagenheims. Karlis also kept progressing in his
compositions, winning prizes regularly in the European tournaments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">
Around this time he discovered his best field: correspondence chess. He
lost some games to start with (vs. Romaskevics, Chardins, Sifers), but later he
never lost another game!! In matches he beat players like Chigorin, Shifers,
Nimcovics, Iljin-Zenevski, etc. In team matches Betins became the leader of the
teams.</span></div>

Baltic Championship in Tartu 1901 he won. He had become a top openings analyst
and his published analysis were particularly utilised by H. Matisons, (e.g. vs
L Steiner in the Olympiad in Hague; and A Aljekhin in the Olympiad in Prague).
And soon he started devoting all his available time to the one opening: 1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 f5. As a result, FIDE renamed this opening to become “The Latvian
Gambit”.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>THE SPANISH COURT and FIRST STEPS ON LG</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Alejandro Melchor </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is generally accepted that the Moorish introduced chess in Europe when they conquered the Iberian Peninsula between the years 900 and 1000, although in the Arabic method of play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next reference arise from the rules collected by the King Alfonse X of Castille in 1283 (where it is already shown some new modality on the moves on the Queen and the Bishop which it would carry to the origin medieval chess). Familiarity with chess was already becoming a mark of culture; during Middle Age it was a favorite game at royal courts, and younger members of the nobility were often sent to court to complete their education. Chess was an item of the educational equipment; the pieces - horses, infantrymen, chariots, Kings, Queens - had logical places in the field of battle, so that knowledge of the rudiments of the game was thus acquired and transmitted as part of the general quest for learning on the part of the nobility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Italy, where “scachi” was a more democratic activity, the medieval universities provided Europe’s chief reservoir of popular learning, and while chess was certainly not on the curriculum of the college, it inevitably became part of the curriculum vitae of the visiting student. Italy was well situated to serve as nucleus from which chess love could spread homeland of such medieval learning and the center of Europe’s official religion. Italian players showed more willingness to experiment than their Spanish colleagues (presumably because they were less under Moslem cultural influence) and thus we find they were the first to adopt new rules that we accepted for the modern game (that is, the game in which Bishops and Queens have their extended moves, the double initial move of the pawns, the consistent castling practice, and the rule that the stalemate was a draw).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is true that the first text detailing the modern game was written in Spain by Lucena in 1497, but Lucena himself asserts that his material came from Italy, thus modern chess was played there before 1500, but in Spain during the earliest decades of the sixteenth century.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the book of Lucena, entitled “Repeticion de amores e arte de ajedrez con CL juegos de partido” there is still moves of pieces in the old manner (exactly 76), but in the other ones and especially in the openings, the pieces has moves according to the new rules (74) and their veritable importance, besides he is the first modern theorist of chess, is the quantity of remarkable ideas that he suggests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the great chess historian H. Murray, Lucena is also the author of the famous Gottingen Manuscript, a 33 page essay in Latin written around 1500.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the 16th century is very important for chess of the Iberian Peninsula.... and for our Gambit. In 1512 the “Quest Libra e da impale gaucherie a Scachi et de le partita” was published, written by a Portugese apothecary called Damiano. The book was an overwhelming success — translated to 8 languages -- and it went through 7 editions before 1561. The rules of play are exactly like Lucena’s, as soon as some advices and problems — thus there are readers who believe that he plagiarized the Spanish author, but only changed the numeration and the order — , but our interest is that he considered there were only two reasonable openings, 1e4 and 1d4. According J M Lobato (in”El Gambito de Greco”, 1914) citing H. Staunton, our Gambit looks like arise from Damiano and T. Kosten is of the same opinion (“The Latvian Gambit”, 1995, page 5). I myself cannot verify it, as he described an opening in which a pawn was sacrificed for the sake of better position, but in 1561, Ruy Lopez wrote another book in which he described this pawn sacrifice as “el gambito” (it seems it was the move 2 ... f6), but he himself refuted it drastically in his analysis. The word “gambito” created by the Spanish master means “trap”, it derives from the Italian “gambetto”, the name seems appropriate for any type of opening in which the opponent is offered a pawn as bait, and by the early 16th century it was used to describe pawn sacrifice openings. Ruy Lopez, who justly criticized much of Damiano’s mediocre openings analysis, was a priest born approx.1540 in Zafra, Extremadura and was considered the leading player of that century. His chess ability gave him International fame and he was one of the favorites in the court of Philip II. In 1560 he went to Rome on ecclesiastical business and while there defeated all best local players, including Leonardo da Cutri. He also practiced with success playing blindfold chess. After returning home he published his famous “Libro de la invención liberal y arte del juego del ajedrez” (Alcala de Henares, 1561), translated some years later to both Italian and German, which served as a guide for future chess books. In 1575 return to visit Gregory XIII and he obtained new victories over his opponents, but two years later, in a series of matches arranged by Philip II, he lost to Polerio firstly, and to Paolo Boi a few months later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the Golden period of Spanish chess, according a list of the Italian Pietro Carrera in his ”Il guioco degli Schachi” (1617) where names such as Alfonso Ceron, Santa Maria, Pedro Pedrosa, Tomas Esquivel, Escovara and others deserved attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1575 Spanish King organized a match in Madrid and it is relatively well documented (there is even a picture titled “Il Puttino alla corte del re di Spagna” by L.Mussini). This demonstrates the interest of Spanish court for chess. In accordance with time chronicles, the King had inherited inclination for chess of his father, Emperor Charles V. The best players from Spain and Italy participated, represented by Ruy Lopez and Ceron; and Leonardo y Cesare Polerio, respectively (some sources tell the other player was Paolo Boi). Of course, it is very well known that Leonardo defeated Lopez, but is noteworthy for us that in one of these games a form of pseudo Latvian Gambit was employed after 1e4 e5 2Nf3 d6 3d4 f5 etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The victory of Leonardo start the decadence of Spanish chess that is emphasized with the arrive of Giachimo Greco, but it seems the Spanish court continued now with Philip IV doing patronage, and good evidence of this is he himself was the last years of his life in Madridian court. </div>

Perhaps the best collection on the CD is "Latvian gambit into the Next Millenium" compiled by John Elburg and Giorgio Ruggeri, although for us, devotees, has become somewhat outdated after staging in 2004. It contains, however, in addition of 8500 games, a tree and opening key, pictures and videos that make it very attractive (see the <b><a href="http://www.gambitchess.com/latvian/latviancd.htm">link</a></b>) </div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a game from zonal tournament held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Prasanna Kurukulasuriya (pictured) met a solid player in the third round. A Amarasinghe played very well and showed a great desire to win, unfortunately the twentieth move allows White to win a pawn and the initiative. Prasanna has to avoid the traps laid by his opponent.</div><br />

For many years <span style="color: blue;"><b>3.Bc4</b></span>, a move which Keres burned a lot of midnight oil over, was considered White's best, but today “it seems” don’t offers White no advantage. Its very messy (and unnecessary !) and honestly I think Keres busted with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The move develops a piece, prepares to castle, and threatens an immediate assault on f7. It is even listed as the Main Line against the Latvian Gambit in Nunn's Chess Openings. It leads to some of the most complex situations to be found in the Latvian.</div>

Yes indeed, there are many reasonable replies (f.i. 3..Nc6 or even transposing to Philidor counter gambit with 3..d6 - remember 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 f5 -), but the more usual answers are <b>3..fxe4 4.Nxe5 Qg5</b> and <b>4...d5</b> (Svedenborg variation):</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This is a very interesting game played by a young French player named Thomas Dionisi (pictured) against a Polish international master Warakomski. White here has perhaps not made the best choice of the seventh and eighth moves, allowing White to fully exploit the central position.</span><br />
