A "wise" guy entered a chess club and claimed that if black mirrors every move of whites the game will be a draw. Somebody offered him to play and then mated him in four! Can you repeat that "immortal game"...? :)

I have seen this before, but I have no Idea where, or when for that matter when.

i like this one, thanks for showing it!

Haha, i will have to remember this for the next time i play someone who copies your every move

lol

 

Just about any novice can see that White's queen is, in fact, hanging after his third move...lol

White's queen would have been taken. Simple

some people are idiots.  *shrug*

i got killed in a tournament with that move once

hilarious! I had *not* seen this before :)

white's queen may not have been taken.  It is in the psychology of the game.  How many times have you been through a "rehearsed" opening and then realized that something was amiss but alas too late.  If your player is not paying attention, then throw in a quite move out of the routine.  A planed difference will change the board to your favor and most other players will never notice because they are too busy getting "their opening move" into play.  I concentrate to play each move as if it was never played before and still ask all the what if questions.

Funny!

I like it! 

wow

wow

why Funny?

This is funny because on their third move blacks could simply take white queen with the bishop, but according to prior agreement they were "forced" to mirror whites play :)

Yes, there is the prior agreement.  But I think you also miss the point of the exercise.  The first guy had a theory based on a pattern of opeinings.  Now really, think back on your openings.  Have you ever missed a key move simply because you were focused on how you open?  The psychology of the thing is powerful!
