In this video, International Master Alex Astaneh is sharing with you one of the most basic checkmates in chess, which is the Scholar’s mate or sometimes known as the four-move checkmate. This chess trick is a very common try at the beginner levels and many beginners have fallen for this basic opening trap. Therefore, it is important to know the mechanism behind it, in order not to fall victim to it. For beginners, the opening stage is the most exciting phase in the game of chess. There are various chess strategies, tactics, tips, tricks, ideas, traps, gambits & opening moves that you can use to fool your opponent & win more chess games.
The four-move checkmate can be reached in a few different ways, but the basic checkmate pattern is that white opens by advancing his pawn with 1.e4, develops the bishop to c4 to attack the f7-pawn, and develops the queen to h5 (or f3). If black does not defend, white delivers mate to black’s uncastled king on the f7-square.
In this video, you not only learn how to play the four-move checkmate but also how to avoid this happening to you. It depends exactly how white attacks blacks vulnerable f7-point. If you are new to chess, you should know how to take care of this danger. After watching this video, you will be prepared when facing the Scholar’s mate and will be very happy to see these moves, because in general moving the queen out so early and playing this with the same piece all the time in the opening is the road to disaster for the side who does this.
I hope you enjoyed this video!
