| Aug-15-09 | | whiteshark: There are 5 ECO main groups and 100 subdivisions for each. So one might expect a <C40> only every 500 days. Certainly not! <Brazilian> feelings return after only 191 days. |

| Mar-14-10 | | drukenknight: It's not a latvian but I dont know where else to put the mad qf6 attack; I see this quite regularly on the internet: 1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Qf6
3. d4 exd4
4. e5 Qe7
5. Bf4 c5
6. Nbd2 (this is a planned pattern I am going in)
.... f6
7. Bc4 (crap pc recommends Bb5)
7...Nc6 (...fxe5 maybe =)
8. O-O g5
9. exf6 Qxf6
10. Re1+ Nge7
11. Bxg5
after 11 Bxg5 can our mad friend survive this?

| Apr-05-10 | | FiveofSwords: drunkenknight, i dont really understand this 3. d4 in your line It seems to simply help black. I would think its much more natual to play 3.Nc3 to attmept to exploit the odd position of the queen. |
|
| Apr-07-10 | | drukenknight: 5swords: it basically gambits a pawn in order to generate an attack. The combination of an attack (on blacks K) as well as chasing the black Q creates very tricky positions. I dont see anything wrong with gambiting a pawn out of a perfectly symmetrical/balanced position, so we dont have that exactly but it's only move 3 so how bad can it be? |

 | | Penguincw: This position can lead to many different openings. Nc6 is the best and most popular choice. Nf6 is the Petroff or Russian Game. d5 is the Elephant Gambit. d6 is the Philidor Defense. f5 is the Latvian Gambit. f6 is the worst response and it is called the Damaino Defense. That's just to name some.

1.e4 e5??
(an improvement is c5) |

| Sep-01-12 | | the eel: I gave up the Latvian Gambit 10 years ago after finding no good answer to 3 Nxe5. Recently I have been experimenting on-line with 3-- Nf6 with good results ( one defeat in 10). Black gets a lasting initative,for a pawn sac, in most games.I am considering using the line OTB. I am comfortable with all other Latvian variations and particularly like the lines after 3 Bc4.Does anyone know of a refutation of 3-- Nf6? |

| Aug-08-13 | | GumboGambit: For those that enjoy open play with exciting battles, Sicilian Defense doesnt hold a candle to some of these C40 games. |

 | | GrahamClayton: For those of you who are interested in the Elephant Gambit 1. e4 e5 2. ♘f3 d5, here is an online copy of the 1997 book "Elephant Gambit 2" by Tom V Purser: http://iloapp.2-hk.dk/blog/debat?Sh... |

 | | eternaloptimist: The Elephant Gambit is the <Opening of the Day> today. The Russian GM Skatchkov is the best at playing the black pieces in this opening IMHO. FM Corbin is probably the 2nd best at playing it. It's definitely not the best opening in the world but it is flexible & it can transpose into other openings like the Scandinavian & Two Knights. If u play the Elephant Gambit, it would be a good idea to also be familiar w/ those 2 openings. |
