and i built a rating of over 2200 based purely on this opening -.- it isn't as easy to refute for black as it seems.
Halloween Gambit


9...d6 and whites FAIL!!!
it seems like bad opening
Everyone says that until they get baptized by a beating from an experienced HG player. Then they're converts for life...
play this opening against strong oponnent he will kick your ass....
Gonnosuke, pulled the wool over Ilovegambits who in his turn kicked my unholy ass, as I was a non believer in this Gambit, & since I've been doing the same to many who in their turn believe in the power of this Gambit & punish others that take it to lightly, me playing Black will for sure avoid this Nasty Gambit at all costs, but as White, I'll jump to the occasion to hound my opponent with it, I'ld like to thank Ilovegambits for slaughtering me & hence making me aware of this very effective Gambit & also Gonnosuke, for the amount of input & logical explanation that he never fears to pass on to all, for this subject has come up mantes amount of times, so beware for this Gambit is not an idle joke, but a real danger when faced against it!

play against rybka using this gambit....

I'm not good enough to know the theory behind any of that, but that was a sweet game to watch. Thanks for posting.

In the current Halloween gambit there are still 4 players who have won all their games (Plus Molaboy who is also no defeats, no draws, but who hasn't finished a game yet), and White is scoring only slightly less than 50%.

FessMate, if your so bloody interested to see me post my game, mabye you should have the headache to go through my archive, it's there for all to see, & I get no fun playing computers, I only use the mothers to study, & don't forget, I'm a non user, ie.. I don't use Data Base, Books or any outside help while I'm playing online, call me old fashioned if you wan't but everybody to their own, & by the way, I see your archive is completly dead, not even one mother of a game, so my friend you are a real smooth talker that's shooting out hot air when it's not needed, regards & respect,
Gabriel, yo the Celtic Banana!

I'm not going to pretend that I know much about the gambit but FessMate, Gonnosuke is one of the best players on this site and I'm sure he's put a lot of time into studying it and if you look at his games in practical play he doesn't do that badly with it!

1. That's your blem!
2. I don't need advice how to revise my games!
3. I don't give a monkeys what HE asked & seen that you can count!
4. If you wanna try this as Black, even at 14 days per move, believe me my new friend, you'll be having a hard time, unless like you say, you're using Rybke or some other mother of mothers of chess engings, feel free to chalange me for I'm not a strong PLAYER, but hell bro, I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEYS WORTH!
Fessmate, that is a very bold statement and complete and utter bull.
I agree 5.Ng6 is probably one of blacks better ways to try and refute said gambit. But i can confidently tell you that will not save you ass. Take this line for example:
hmmm nice variation
this game proof that this gambit good in blitz games there are many forced moves for blacks and it easy to make blunder..
but on master levels in long games...
13... Qf5!? what about this?
16...Kd8!?
and during the middle game blacks made some weak moves and lose a draw

It might interest the Halloween doubters to know how the opening is played in OTB chess. The leading exponents of the system are a German IM named Wind (I can find his analysis of the opening by the bucketfull, but few of his games) and Grigor Minchev, rated about 2300.
Here's one of my favourite games of his.
I don't like this gambit very much. The results for White are not attacks but merely a large centre that could easily become overextended and weak. The centre should be more flexible, in my opinion, and not pushed forward so far. Indeed, with the proper defence I'm almost sure Black is winning this game.
