"Where does the name Halloween Attack in the Four Knight game come from? Reference to an article if the german offbeat magazine Randspringer and to the history of the official name Müller-Schulze Gambit." Quote from another webpage about it :http://www.jakob.at/steffen/halloween.html .

I don't know about USCL but at ICC there are quite a few anti-comp players with ratings about 2000 who are able to _really_ give a hardtime to _any_ computer ( with a formula that allows them to play it ) at blitz time controls - so it's feasible. pete
