I always choose the popular variation to discuss, why?....If u play not popular opening u only discuss the opening by yourself. The popular opening have been develop by you and strong GM. You have the advantage here. Thank!.... If you see the book publish, all variation they discuss is side line variation. They keep the main line to avoid secret pass to other people….One story, When I was young my friend order chess book from foreign country…They hold the book till 6 months! With the reason its publish for the country and the outsider can have after this range time.

This time ill publish the opening call [Site "C40"] [White "Latvian counter-gambit"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5

This is dangerous opening, if you fall against this opening, no where you can avoid loss. This opening getting popular line at North west Malaysia. If u play at Kelantan they good in ending, Penang have good opening preparation, Perak with King Gambit Opening, Terengganu always French Defence killer and Johor with aggressive attacking skilled. Do not concern to much about this, its already change beyond time.

3.Bc4 Nc6 0.69

3.Bc4 b5 0.97

3.Bc4 d6 0.84
