Scholars Mate was invented in 1656 by Francis Beale. It's a simple strategy that will get you the win in a quick 4 moves! It's been used in approximately 10'000 games on Lichess, and the amount on chess.com is sadly unknown. !WARNING! Scholars mate is and utterly popular strategy that thousands of chess players know. So don't expect this to be your winning strategy. Don't use it in every game you play either.
