#9: what does it mean that the Latvian gambit is "refuted"? You can check any database and see that there are many games of IMs losing against it.
IMs dont know all the theory in the world specially in weird variations like the latvian. What i see in databases is that white scores close to 75 % with i think says enough about this variation.
And this is completely refuted nowadays in 2 different ways, where black is lost or close to lost after the opening.

you can play:
1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 f5!
Colorado Gambit, there is a good lecture on Youtube on that one by GJ Chess who has made great studies on that opening

No that is also known to be bad, and the guy named Gj chess is weak. it's the truth
Also that is off topic.
GJ chess is a terrible player who recommends terrible openings, there are lot of good chess youtubers to follow instead of that guy
