In an attempt to learn something new I have of recent tried the Halloween Gambit. Can anyone recommend any good books on the Halloween , so far the best material I have is from Unorthodox openings newsletter # 13.

And some more practical advice for you sniper : here is what i most often meet when playing the halloween
Strong club players aware of the gambit :
They often play the variation called "euwe's refutation"
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5 Nxe5 5.d4 Ng6 6.e5 Ng8 7.Bc4 d5
or this :
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5 Nxe5 5.d4 Ng6 6.e5 Ng8 7.Bc4 Bb4 ...[text shortened]... t be worse than the latvian 😛 (and will certainly bring better practical results)
