if it makes any difference fritz gives equality after either castle and just continues with development... regardless of what you say.. fritz is stronger than both of us and when your opinion differs from fritz the odds are much higher than you are wrong and not the engine.. ESPECIALLY in a tactical line.
In my own opinion.. how can you say white is 'clea ...[text shortened]... near equal, king safety is close, and material is equal?
Where is white 'clearly better'?

Hey...my ban wasn't supposed to end until the 17th but I think that ih8 means that it is more difficult for black to draw if white knows what he is doing.
the point is this:
black CAN draw, making it sound
it is sharper than several main lines, meaning that black can be presented with tactical shots if white isn't careful.
if white is careful, then black still has a safe draw with perfect play.
thus, the Latvian gambit can be a great opening in your reperitoire if you know what your doing.

Are you telling me that you play like a master?
I play for a win no matter what. If you play for a draw then you're simply playing wrong.
I said you want to play for a draw in the opening. then, after equality, play for win.
