1. Qh5 Bh8
2. Qxh8#
if you think you have a line, put it here:

Or instead of playing 2. Nc3 I can just play Qh5 and win, nobody has posted a line where black isn't getting mauled, so I'd say it's a pretty good deal.
then just use it and become the next world champion, since "nobody can refute it"
Gavinator - why do you have such ADD about playing chess? You will become a much better chess player is you just play chess instead of trying to find lines to blow people out of the water in 15 moves. There is plenty of chess to be played after the usual Scotch.
He's not looking to win in fifteen moves. He is looking for a response that's less drawish.
There's a huge difference.
This is what I play and what leads to a less drawish game:

Kid you a real trip.
Takes all kinds to make a world though. You have fun.
