It is called Scholar's mate!!!
The following moves are not called scholar's mate because there is not any checkmate.
But, the following moves are its variation .
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 c6 3. Qh5 g6 4. Qxe5+ Qe7 5.Qxh8
Scholar's mate!!!
But, the black move 3...Nf6 is a mistake.
Instead of 3...Nf6, the black g pawn moves to g6
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 c6 3. Qh5 g6 4. Qxe5+
thanks, but if white ends up on Qxe5 it's not checkmate it only gets the rook on H8, on this play 4. Qxf7# is a chackmate!!!
Thanks everyone, I google "scholar's mate" and indeed it is.
