Also Short has played this gambit (and won).

Short & the Cochrane Gambit Short himself says that he has played the Cochrane Gambit dozens of times in blitz games and is convinced that the gambit can be played at a slower tempo. His data records give White a 58% winning percentage.
The leading exponent of the Cochrane Gambit is Latvian IM Alvis Vitolinsh. Nigel has annotated one of Alvis's games and upon studying this analysis I was tempted to follow suit in one of my Tournament games...winning with some difficulty...but there again I am no Nigel Short !!
It is definately worthy of consideration against the Petroff, it leads to a wild game and an early finish, not many draws with this gambit !!
Kind regards,
Cal
