Challenge!
I think that
- Latvian gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5
and
- Traxler counterattack 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5
is won by white.
So I challenge everyone serious player who wants to play Latvian gambit or Traxler counterattack (for example, Thibault Vassal :D ) with black.
My e-mail is ilmars.cirulis@gmail.com
Ilmars Cirulis. :D
Thibault de Vassal (2006-11-13 15:36:42)
Challenge!
I'll defend these openings :)
I sent an email to you.
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-11-13 18:01:40)
Let's start!
I send to you answer.
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-11-13 22:11:42)
Thanks!!!
Thibault, did you read my thoughts? :D
Thanks very much fo Marshall counterattack thematic!!
Thibault de Vassal (2006-11-14 00:39:01)
?
Hi Ilmars. You mean the email with the lines we play ?
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-11-14 00:40:19)
!
Yes, I do.
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-11-20 23:17:33)
Thibault...
Are you busy?
Thibault de Vassal (2006-11-21 11:14:13)
Weather
Hi Ilmars.
Sorry, the weather was quite bad yesterday and we had some electricity problems here :)
I'll respond to your moves today. (I responded already in the Traxler line, please re-send your move to me, thx)
Thibault de Vassal (2006-12-23 05:26:35)
The games
Here are the games so far :)
Traxler counter-attack :
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7.Ke3 Qh4 8.g3 Nxg3 9.hxg3 Qd4+ 10.Kf3 d5 11.Rh4 e4+ 12.Kg2 0-0 13.Bb3 Rxf7 14.Qg1 Qf6 15.Rf4 Qe6 16.Nc3 Qh3+ 17.Kf2 Be6 18.Nxd5 Nd4 19.Rxf7 Bxf7 20.Nf4 Qf5 21.Bxf7+ Qxf7 22.Qd1 g5 23.Qg4 Qf6 24.Kg2 Rf8 25.b3 Nxc2 26.Rb1 Ne1+ 27.*
Latvian gambit :
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Bc4 fxe4 4.Nxe5 d5 5.Qh5+ g6 6.Nxg6 hxg6 7.Qxh8 Kf7 8.Qd4 Nf6 9.Be2 c5 10.Qe3 Nc6 11.O-O Nd4 12.Na3 Bd6 13.f4 Ng4 14.Bxg4 Bxg4 15.h3 Qh4 16.d3 Ne2+ 17.Kh2 d4 0-1
So result will be most probably Cirulis : 0,5 - de Vassal : 1,5
Thanks Ilmars for very interesting games ! These openings are really good weapons... (for Black :))

Traxler/Wilkes-Barre
I have heard from many players of a wide range of strength that the Traxler is busted for Black. The trouble is, none of them appear to have proof. A few years ago, I played in a Traxler thematic in IECG. I had a great time, learned a lot, and managed second place overall. My own assessment is: unclear, but Black is probably OK. So, why not have a Traxler thematic tournament here on FICGS, to settle the matter once and for all. :D Maybe it could be a double round robin, to be fair to those who feel that one side or the other has the advantage. I would sign on for such a tournament. Nice Latvian, btw.
Thibault de Vassal (2006-12-24 11:57:24)
Traxler/Wilkes-Barre
Hello Steve.
We had 2 Traxler thematic tournaments already :)

http://www.ficgs.com/tournament_FICGS__CHESS__THEMATIC_TOURNAMENT__000015.html
Maybe we'll have another one (or double round-robin, why not) :)
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-12-24 19:29:15)
Merry Christmas, Thibault! ;)
Thanks to Thibault for big XP in Latvian and Traxler. :)
>> About Latvian gambit game:
11.0-0 is a mistake. King feels safer in centre.
11.f3 is the best white move. IMO
I am still thinking that Latvian gambit and Traxler counterattack is won for white. :D
Now I will play 5.Bxf7+ in Traxler. 5.Nxf7+ is too complex for me yet (IMO it is winning too).
Steve Sabean (2006-12-25 22:45:03)
Sounds like a challenge
The gauntlet has been thrown down! How about this: We play two games, I will play Black in both. In one, White plays 5 Bxf7+ and in the other, White plays 5 Nxf7. We could play here if M. de Vassal would be kind enough to set it up, or if not, then e-mail is OK.
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-12-26 09:56:31)
I agree! :)
OK, my e-mail is ilmars.cirulis@gmail.com.
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-12-26 10:55:45)
About Traxler counterattack
My sixteenth move was a mistake. Much better would be 16.d3. IMO
Ilmars Cirulis (2006-12-26 11:01:00)
About Traxler counterattack
16.Nc3? Qh3+ 17.Kf2 Rxf4+ 18.gxf4 Qf3+ 19.Ke1 Be6 - it looks like a draw.
Steve Sabean (2006-12-26 22:26:57)
The games are on!
OK Ilmars, I have sent my moves to your e-mail. Good luck!
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-02-08 21:04:34)
Steve, how do you do?
I send my move to you in Jan 15.
And I don't have your answer! :( What's going?
