Beat Maximum Bot with Checkmate - not on time (beginner friendly?)

Hi everyone!

A few weeks/days ago I beat the Maximum bot with checkmate. I'm a beginner myself, but I just... beat it, I guess. 

What I did was spam Scholars mate (literally) until it blundered. When it wouldn't blunder, I would just abort the game.

Eventually it blundered 3rd move I got checkmate 4th move. It's in my game history if anyone wants to check! 

Also the reason I even attempted to beat the Maximum bot with scholars mate and not even study any openings (. Vienna or smth) is because I saw a video on yt posted by Croissant of him beating the Maximum bot with scholars mate - it seemed to work so I tried it.

I hope this helps anyone who's trying to beat the Maximum bot easily!

Okay, I don't see the game in your game history. Could you provide the link?

Here's the link to the game

Also my profile picture is Pocoyo (the animated children's TV show) - it's just an inside joke between friends.

I know right? I seriously wasn't expecting to actually get checkmate. Fun fact: I actually got it 2nd try when i tried to do scholar's mate. The only problem of my 1st checkmate was that it didn't even go to my game history, so I spent so long trying to get the same checkmate and then after i did actually game review it so it would go to my history ;-;
