Beating People Quickly with the Halloween Gambit
Ойындар
I played three games in a row, all of which featured some version of the Halloween Gambit. Although the Halloween Gambit is considered dubious at high levels, it can be quite effective against lower rated competition!

@Okay Tyler There's no way you can do something if you're a queen and a rook up but your opponent doesn't resign and tries to win on time and you have like only 10 seconds left because you played the game well and took time to throughly calculate all positions

"If I were white, I would be terrified, which is probably why they call this the Halloween Gambit" I love IM Eric Rosen, his thoughtful commentary and subtle humor. 10/10 would recommend. I can't find a bad video made by him and I have watched dozens. I truly enjoy his content.

Others don't want it because it clearly opens the black diagonal which makes the king unsafe and gives the black bishop many squares

"When in doubt, develop"-Eric Rosen
One of my favourite openings. It just feels like you are in total control of your opponent
Hello! Glad I found you channel few weeks ago. I usually watch a game here in between the games I play which I find is very good for learning. My progress is slow but I guess I'll just have to keep on playing!
Nice video. Back to back to back of a gambit I’ve never seen or heard of. That was cool
Ηis calm and humility is even more terrifying
2 years later and Eric is still crushing the Stafford
You deserve way more subs. We are spoilt with instructive play.
I know that guy, patrick_jmt. He used to teach me calculus through youtube back in college
I love how you can play this gambit from either side!
Great tough process, very impressive
He's playing like me - Eric seemed impressed
Nice video as always, Eric! Actually, the best final move on the second match wouldn’t be Rb1+ as you did but a mate in 2 with Qb1+ and, wherever the king goes, Qb4#

There is a movie called Kingpin. It is about bowling. You, Eric, can become a chess one Kingpin ... or maybe even Pinking :) Beautiful chess you play! Keep it up! Love!
This gambit is fun to watch and fun to play. If the opponent doesn't play perfectly they end up getting so incredibly screwed in the worst, ugliest positions
On the first game losing the first knight is the best play against that I believe or you could play queen e2

great idea
at 9:39 15...Bxe4 16. Bxe4 Rxe4 If queen takes then queen d2+ and f2# If not, then at least you got that knight back
At 11:45, the reason he moved his king was because bishop takes rook on e4, bishop takes bishop on e4, queen takes bishop, then your queen takes d2 leading to a win in another movw
Damn. Halloween gambit lives up to its name! Scary...

Its green tea lol . This guys videos are top notch
