 The Halloween tournamentIn that time the gambit was called the Mueller-Schultze gambit, but Rainer Schlenker, well known by all Unorthodox chess lovers, re-baptized it as the Halloween Gambit in his magazine « Randspringer » in December 1993. The name is founded on the fact that players who are for the first time confronted with the surprising and unexpected fourth move of white become so shocked as if they were suddenly confronted with the horror of some scary Halloween mask. Indeed, this fourth move is shocking. After : 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 when Black is expecting a normal Four Knights Game move as 4.Bb5, White surprisingly takes the pawn on e5. Wanne play? |

I'll play I'd love to play! I have a few games using it & I currently have one against my female rival kerri01 where she has uncorked a novelty (atleast to me) at move 6. Oh wait a minute... I dont play the black side... I guess I can try... I assume you want the White pieces? Jenn |
