    In this video, I play a blitz game against twitch subscriber Fooldan (2228) on lichess.org. The opening began as the Stafford Gambit, but rather than accepting the free pawn, my opponent played 4.Nc3?!?!?! transposing into a Halloween Gambit. I then played 4.Bc5?!?!!? insisting on the Stafford Gambit. After 5.Nf3?!?! we had some weird opening where I was down a pawn, but had some compensation. I will abstain from spoiling the finish to the game in this description, so watch the whole video to be dazzled!

    Instead of promoting to queen couldn't you have played rook e4? attacking pawn and if king takes you can promote and opponent will be in check then move queen to e1 attacking pawn again. You can trade off queen for rook & pawn you'll still be up a pawn with king in a better position. But maybe i missed something idk.

    Why wouldn't you just take the free Knight when he played Nc3? Leela puts Nxe5 at 85% winrate(3+ million nodes calculated).
    Am I looking at openings wrong? Why not deviate from Stafford when you can gain such a substantial lead for no tradeoff? I see that he can move the center pawns and have your knights retreat, but you're still 1 knight ahead and only 1 pawn down. Seems like such a sweet deal.
