Geoffrey put the frighteners on his opponent in a ghoulish display of gambit daring.

My second shot at the Halloween Gambit met with more success than the first. On that occasion all I could remember was,
 
1. The name
2. Nxe5
3. 1-0

 

It's just a matter of filling in the gaps.

 

 

1.e4 e5

 

2.Nf3 Nc6

 

3.Nc3 Nf6

4.Nxe5    WHAAAM !!!

 

The Halloween Gambit makes the Cochrane Gambit look like a European Union Health & Safety

Directive!

A game of chess has three distinct phases,

 

1. The Opening

2. The Middlegame

3. Fun Time

 

now and guess White's next move.
