Oct-31-06		Helloween: A strong example of how to play against today's opening. A key move is 20...Nxd6! threatening Bf5.

Aug-10-07		beenthere240: I love how both of these Halloween-spoiling variations (identical up to move 14...Be6 or Qa5) both end up with a mate following Nxg3 and a recapture to open the h file.

Dec-28-07		Atkins: If Morozevich decide to play this opening I think most of us will learn about it more seriously. May be 17.a4!? was a possibility 17...cxd 18.cxd Ne3 19.Qd4 Nxd5 20.f5 QxBb3 21.fxBe6 fxe 22.Rb2... yeah difficult.

Aug-10-09		David2009: <Helloween: (Oct-31-06) A strong example of how to play against> the Halloween Gambit. <A key move is 20...Nxd6! threatening Bf5.> True, since 21 exd6 Bf5 22 Qe1 Bxb1 23 Be3 Rhe8 seems even worse for White
