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!

At 19:31 I noticed a move for Black. Instead of capturing the Knight, he should of pushed the pawn to c5. This might of lead to a discovery of a check on the white King. Just a thought.

At 3:15 I'd have taken the knight, if your bishop is taken check with the queen, after their king moves take the rooks pawn and pick up the took too. Its one bishop for a knight and took, deal of the century. You'll have also moved his king and be threatening his bishop. You'll own that quarter of the board.
