Sad people who cant play chess, pretending they can after searching "fastest checkmate" on google. Some rude guy wanted to chat to me after i missed his scholars mate. Scholars mate is probably the only ego boost these Fischer wannabes ever get

Sounds like a skill issue.

I know what you mean. I fell victim to the Fried Liver Attack a couple of weeks ago. I learned not to 3...Nf6 in the Giuoco Piano. You have to learn these things one humiliating lesson at a time.

Good, good, let the hate flow through you.

Scholar's mate should never work.

Sounds like someone doesn't want to put in the effort to learn how to stop it.

I hate people who complain that they are not very good players and fall for silly tactics.

Something's wrong with this guy!

Just punish them for developing their queen too early. Show them why it's not a good opening over the board. Chess speaks for itself right?

Beaten by Google. Could be worse.

Anyway try to describe your indescribable hatred. It may prove therapeutic. 

Or at least entertaining for the rest of us

Considering you're losing 6-8 moves.  I don't think scholars mate is your biggest worry.           mate you only play against bots i think you have less of an opinion than me

Hatred is a fool's pursuit.  Example: "etc", properly used as "etc." is Latin for "and the rest".  So your title essentially reads "

i have an indescribable amount of hatred for people who use scholars mate and and the rest

 

But I have no hatred of you despite you butchering grammar.  happy

And I bet the apostrophe doesn't hate you for being left out of your irrational statement either.  It's probably grateful.

Scholar's Mate:

1. e4 35

2. Bc4

After this move you should play 2. Nf6 so that you prevent the queen from going to h5 because after

2. Bc4 Nf6

3. Qh5 

You can capture with 3. Nxh5 preventing Scholar's Mate.

There are so many tricks and traps in chess. If it begins with rage hatred for the scholar's mate, what will it be later?

Two solutions: amend your emotions and improve your self control, or give up trying to become a chess player.

For chess is a merciless mirror to one's ego.

Never! TICCPROW

Don't look for ego boost, look for ego annihilation. Without anything in the way between you and mental clarity you play much better. You are not your ego, the ego is a little parasite poisoning our systems like a spoiled little pawn. Anyway I do have the same sentiment, except I love it when they play Bc4 Qf3 (or Qh5) because I can refute it and give them a little lesson. But I have it with the Bowdler Attack in the Sicilian. It's just a more complex and systemic version of scholar's mate, but the idea is similar. I mean, if you play positional, play positional and not something which is a single-minded little tactic behind some pseudo-positional shenanigans. I call it the Bowel attack since I've seen what it is - a structural bag of sand.
