Latvian gambit
Sort:
This is a very interesting game of the latvian gambit that I played here. There were a lot of tension constantly and I would like some suggestions on moves that could have changed the course of the game for both black and white. The annotation is what i had in mind for the moves

Probably the take of the bishop is a mistake, but there are no longer good moves, since the Queen sacrifice looks good and then a follow up of forced moves is going on. The bad move was likely the discovered menace on the white queen, one or two moves too early. The pressure is always important in this gambit (2. f5) since the very beginning (still playable, not like 2....d5 ?!, even more agressive)
for the first time i play chess it's so hard for me to make my first move but with this puzzle i learn alot.....
I have been looking for some interesting counter gambits lately. I think I'm going to try this out in speed chess.
To answer you question:
I think that Black should never have allowed the bishop trade at the 7th move. The object of this gambit, it seems, is to shock White. Perhaps 6...Bxf7+ 7. KxB Pxe4+ (with d5 to come) would have changed the outcome.
