Click the image below for more details! You can also get a free preview of the full course – Short&Sweet: The Modern Defence. I am the author of a Chessable course about the Modern Defence. Out of desperation, I started playing some nonsense openings and simply hope for the miracle. However, already then I got crushed in blitz quite badly. Cutting back on theory isn’t the only advantage to making 1.c4 your best chess opening move. Since the significant drawback of 1.Nc3 is it blocks in the c-pawn, playing c4 first is logical. There I have spent quite some time playing blitz against IM Leon Livaić (who was “only” a 2050 Candidate Master at a time). 1.c4 is one of the best chess opening moves because it attacks the center (d5) and allows Nc3 to be played in the next few moves. However, many years after the game above, I was playing in the Split open 2013 tournament. I have encountered this 4 move checkmate several times, and it is a popular option when played as white, but I will also show you some variations I tried when playing as Black. f3 Qh4# 1-0 your web browser and/or your host do not support iframes as required to display the chessboard alternatively your wordpress theme might suppress the html iframe tag from articles or excerptsĪfter this debacle, one would expect that I have learnt the lesson and that I would never fall for something similar. The Scholars mate is considered one of the quickest ways to checkmate your opponent in just 4 moves beside the Fools mate. Only the player playing the White pieces can become a victim of the two move checkmate.Ĭonsidering that such a checkmate arises only after a terrible play on White’s part, this checkmate is also known as the Fool’s mate.Īn example game featuring the Fool’s mate is shown below. And we are going to start with the fastest of them all – The two move checkmate or the Fool’s mate.
Therefore, fast checkmates are the main theme of this article. That question regards the least amounts of moves required to checkmate the adversary King right out of the opening. However, I would like to focus on answering one particular question that often fascinates the minds of beginners and novice players. For instance, when we are playing the game, we are searching for the best move we are willingly entering lengthy discussions about the comparative greatness of Fischer and Kasparov, etc.
Heck, our obsession went so far that a separate body was created that publishes an annual book which documents all the unnecessary achievements of the humanity.Ĭhess players are not an exception. We are constantly trying to determine who is the biggest, the strongest, the most intelligent, the greatest ever, etc.
We human tend to get obsessed with the superlatives in any field of human activity.
