You mean this?
The scholastic mate bot
Sort:
Yes that's one of the lines of the scholastic mate, at my low elo level I encounter player who go this way, and it is annoying because if you know the line you can either mate or take material.
Given the frequency of use of this technic, I am surprise that there is not a bot like on this website or lichess.
At my level you see three type of annoying player : The scholastic mate, the fried liver and the "I move my pawn forward to make you panick and lose on time !!"
I made bot to train of each of them? The two first one are just book module, the third one a bot that will only move the pawn for X move UNLESS you do something stupide (like hanging a piece ).
And my last game was just against a pawn mover.

I am kind of a newbie at Chess and while playing blitz I came across frequently against player trying the scholastic mate and obviously playing memorized line (evidence being the level of play when they are out of the line who tend to crash suddenly).
There is course and video on the scholastic mate main line, but I am not interested in learning lines like that especially because it turned out that there is not just 2 or 3 line but 8 main line with six sub variation.
So I just created a "scholastic book " module, it contains all the line, the bot will play those line until you are out of the repertoire, it will then switch to whatever engine you choose . When you have several line possible for one position, the bot will choose one randomly.
Of course if you want to be more sophisticated you can specify different engine (camille, maia, stockfish)/ parameter (mood, rule, elo) depending of the exist point.
Playing this bot, I realize that the players going for the scholastic mate did not knew the full lines in most cases, as the way I was usually refuting it, was itself refutable.
