I know that almost everyone knows it but I played with some people to see if they would do it and two people with big rating didn't find it. Here is the table: 

               found it               didn't find it                  Rating
                  yes                    588
                 yes                   1475
                 yes                   1341
                 yes                   1157
                 yes                   1080
                                              yes                   1217
                  yes                   1200

   

I did this because I know that everyone would say "everyone knows it, try to make it better"

So, if you are wondering what it is look at its name, fool's mate. The fool's mate is a checkmate that ONLY black can do in two moves. White has to make certain moves that are fool to lose here is the game.

        

If you don't understand, see this video

The only reason that I don't like this checkmate is because everyone knows it.

you will see some very good games that I played and get inspired. You will see some videos and learn more about chess.
