===3.exf5===
White's 3.exf5 followed by 3...e4 4.Ne5 Nf6 5.Be2 is recommended by [[John L. Watson]] and [[Eric Schiller]].<ref>[http://www.jeremysilman.com/chess_opng_anlys/040410_latvian_gambit.html Latvian Gambit]. jeremysilman.com. Retrieved on 2009-04-05.</ref> 4.Qe2, 4.Nd4, and even 4.Ng1!? are also possible.<ref>Kosten 2001, pp. 188-98.</ref>

Black's response should be 3...e4.

Now, White has three possible moves:
* Nd4 (best move)
* Ne5
* Qe2

Sample Continuation #1 (Ian Defense) 4.Ne5 Nf6 5.Be2 Be7 6.Bh5+ Kf8! 7.Nf7 Qe8 8.Nxh8 Nxh5 9.Nc3 Kg8

Black lost castle and exchanged its Rook with White Knight and Bishop, but kingside is solid, ready to expand queenside, which is considered to be equal.

Sample Continuation #2 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.d3 c5 6.Nb3 exd3 7.Bxd3 d5 8.Bb5+ Nc6

Common mistake 4.'''Qe2?''' Qe7 5.Nd4 Nc6 6.Qh5+ Kd8 7.Nxc6+ dxc6 8.Be2 Nf6 9.Qg5 h6 10.Qe3 Bxf5 11.0-0 Nd5 12.Qd4 Qd6 13.d3 Nb4

<em>Assessment</em>: Black is not lost here, and often allows Nf7 and sacrifice Black's kingside rook.
