I don't agree, Rob. This game is full of mistakes, and Black won
only by a fluke. White was actually better most of the game until is
last move. A few comments below:

This is more correctly called a Latvian Gamibt or Greco Counter-
gambit.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nc3 -- White seems unfamiliar with theory. Best
are 3.Nex5 or 3.Bc4, both of which come close to winning by force if
Black is not extremely careful. -- 3...Nc6 4. Bc4 Bb4 5. Nd5 Nf6 6. c3
fxe4 7. Ng5 Nxd5 8. Nf7 Kxf7 9. Bxd5+ Ke8 10. cxb4 Nxb4 11. Bxe4?! --
Better 11. Qh5+ Ke7 12. Qf7+ Kd6 13. Bxe4. -- 11... Qf6 12. O-O d5 13.
Qa4+ Nc6 14.Bxd5 Bd7 15. d3 Qg6 16. g3?! -- Unnecessary. g3 was
already defended. Better 16. Be4 Qd6 followed by 17. Bg5, 17. Qb3, or
17. Be3 --- 16...Nd4 17. Qd1 -- Better 17. Qc4 -- 17... Bg4 18. Qa4+
-- Better 18. f3 c6 19. Be4 Bf5 20. Be3 -- 18...c6 19. Be4 Qf6 20. Be3
Ne2+ 21. Kh1?? -- A terrible blunder. White was probably still winning
after 21. Kg2.
Looking up "Camp, R" on the USCF rating list, I see no one rated
over 1242, and the one from California is rated only 1033. The only
two rated D. Wolfe's from California are 1521 and 1286, and the
highest-rated player in the whole country by that name is only 1535.
So it's not surprising that this game is rather inept.
