May-03-07		wolfmaster: Unless I am very much mistaken,the first Latvian Gambit in history.

May-04-07		somitra: <CG> The position after white's 23rd move will make a good Wednesday Puzzle.

May-04-07		SwitchingQuylthulg: Not the first Latvian gambit. It's featured in many Greco games. If you don't count Greco's games, then the first one in database is this: F Slous vs Bone, 1835

Jun-23-08		wrap99: This Count, who lost in the second game against the same player, did indeed win this. Not the usual amateur member of royalty...

Jun-23-08		patzer2: I think 24...Rf4! makes a good puzzle, with the sham sacrifice of the Rook for a decisive attack on the weak White castled position.

Mar-01-09		WhiteRook48: who you can Count on to win?
