The Latvian

I know it's fast approaching the month of march , when hares are considered to go mad !!!!!!, and perhaps that's why I'm considering this,.... but for many years I have considered play the Latvian in response to white's e4 . As I am now in my 60th year you'd think I'd know better ! And considering I play a reasonable french defense , and have done since my teens, the question of why I have "dug out" Anatoly Lein's "The latvian gambit, a grandmaster view" again,springs to mind !!!

Sure I have played some friendly over the board games with the latvian , with mixed results, but have not been brave, (or stupid) enough to play any rated game either on line or over the board.

So what do you guys think, should I keep up my study of the latvian, return to the french, or perhaps go completely "bonkers" and adopt the "elephant gambit"!!!!!!

Hi, Hare :)

My opinion, friend, is that you should go for it!

Have Fun with it!

I play the Latvian with white when I encounter it and win or lose the games are fun :)

Without a challenge, I'm only half alive~

EnjoY! :D
