I'll agree with Dan's assessment. The Latvian is horrible for Black in computer
chess. Perhaps the book was built with the idea that 3...Qe7 is good for Black,
because, for example, the Chessmaster 9000 database shows two games, both played
by IMs, that reach this position, and both were won by Black.
But in both of those games, White played 4.d4, and 4.Qh5+ is much better.
