In round 5 of the chess olympiad there was a Latvian gambit going on, played by Philip Corbin of Barbados Cool. The move order is actually pretty weird (1.Nf3 f5?! 2.e4? e5??, wtf...)

Gotta love Corbin.  He crushes people with the elephant.  He uses the lat at the olympiad.  And he's a GM.

Nevermind. One does not get any points on the internet for being right ;)

More important is him playing the Gambits we like!
