I remember this being my favorite way back when I played a lot. My friend called it the pawn of death opening. (3:58)
What can you play after halloween gambit declined? Meaning they don't take the knight.
547: what if black plays 2:47 Qe7 ?
Im playing this tommorow
549: happy Halloween!!
Damn bruh this vid is ancient
thank you for the nice video
On the first play that the knight gets challenged f4 is also a safe square
If the halloween gambit fails… It's dangerous 😂
6:19 we can have a discover check,or we can go to take a piss and attack the king here
This is up there with the bongcloud as my favorite opening
What if you play f6? I'm assuming that's a mistake
I've never seen somebody play good here
Very good gambit to get center control quickly
This Gambit gave me trouble
I don't know what to do.
6:03 what?! xd
I love this opening but how do you counter bishop to b4
Wow just faced this in my game and it made no sense but it felt like a sudden aggression out of no where. I was able to make a win by attacking back and preventing the castle but lost my rook in the process. A really devastating gambit to face when you never heard of it
What do you do if after f4 opponent goes knight g4?
I just started playing chess and I was wondering, if I was black, would it be better to defend with Queen to e7 in 02:37
9:28 – why not take the Rook instead of an attack on the Queen?
6:25 if you went Qb4, then the queen would just take, screw the discovered attack, free queen
Why's it called Halloween gambit

MUSIC
6:21 in the vid bishop and knight are defended the queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
I really like this channel subscriber from the Philippines
Thanksgiving gambit
thank you
How do you play it if black moves the Knight to G4? As the response to pushing the pawn?
chess stealing from the fortnight games??
this is the best gambit
2:10 you do not consider the possibility of knight to g4
Happy Halloween!
The opening intro theme should have been Halloween Michael Meyer's music
Things can change quickly and your gambit could be in danger black may make a few good opening moves it depends on black making moves in conjunction with your gambit
2:14 can’t it go g4?
fortnite opening? holy crap
Did anyone else expect the Halloween theme when they heard the piano?
The reason for my ‘Thumbs down’ was your audio quality.
Everything else was ‘thumbs up’.
Wait…I guess I’ll just….THUMPS UP!
Really helpful thanks
I played this gambit in a game im in Rn and i didnt even know it
Someone is selling a "Happy Halloween Gambit" T shirt on a model cosplaying Harlequin. I came here to find out if it was a real gambit. It is! Cool.
Happy halloween!
At first I thought it was going to play the theme song from Halloween on piano.
this is pretty stupid at higher level. i used to like this, it's kinda interesting and pressures black if they haven't seen the opening before. but there is always the risk that they play well and also around 1300 rating this becomes a useless opening. still fun to play though against low rated opponents.
What stops knight g4
which is the best move at 4:26 if instead of moving the knight he moves Queen e7 pinning the pawn?
