Tackling Scholars Mate

Last updated on Mon, 09/28/2009 at 2:02am.

Scholars mate is quite an old fashioned way for checkmating your opponent if his/her foresight is quite weak.

It is a four move checkmate.Its something like this.



But experienced players(most chess players)can easily spoil the attack by moving the knight Nf6.Like this
So it is useful to take white before starting a game.
Because black sometimes just make a mistake and get checkmated.
ESPECIALLY IN QUICK GAMES.
