Chess Inside Out: The Scholar's Mate
Ok you know what this is right? You may, you may not.
Today I will be showing you how to use, and defuse the Scholar's Mate
How to do the Scholar's Mate
It's not that hard really.
Basically you make sure that your queen and bishop target the f-pawn.
How to defend the Scholar's Mate
Ok so this is quite easy too. This blog literally took 30 minutes though. I'll make another opening blog soon.
Once you see that bishop fly onto c4, the best choice is...
Drumroll please?
I SAID DRUMROLL PLEASE?
Dangit where are the drums?
Ah well it's...
Yeah. It's that same move on the Wayward Queen Attack blog.
Q...
f...
6
Yeah. That same piece
That same square.
...
So here's why
The queen is blocking the white queen's path! YAY!
But white can defend that.
d4 is nicely asking the opponent to take a free pawn.
If they take it...
AND HE SACRIFICES
THE BISHOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
THE BISHOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
I'm not sure that's a brilliant but if it is...
Here's why I think there's a 3% chance that's a brilliant.
The bishop gets taken, checkmate in 2. Take da pawn, King runs...
EAT DA BISHOP
Now let's say their queen takes yours.
...
SEND THE HORSES
They probably gonna kick your bishop
It's ok!
Just retreat it.
So this has nothing to do with Scholar's Mate anymore so I guess this blog is over
Thanks for reading!
