 Look for an obscure-ish variation of a very popular opening...

 Correct!

I: KID, some line in the Saemisch attack

IV: The structure reminds me of the Latvian Gambit, but Black is doing too well, so it can't be that...

IX: Some sort of Kalashnikov

X: Hmm... Cozio Defense?

XI: Almost certainly some variation of the King's Gambit, but I don't really know...

 KID Saemisch and Cozio are correct!

BTW, XI is indeed a King's Gambit... But which variation?

 Close enough, Ruy Lopez:Schliemann is the answer! I assume you meant Bb5.

 After ...c6 white retreated the bishop to c4 and later on this bishop captured the black knight on g8. Black recaptured with the rook.
