Yesterday I heard of a new secret achievement called Peaceful Victory where you checkmate without capturing or losing ANY piece at all. Is this real? If it is I will try to obtain it.
Someone asked about an achievement called that. I've never seen or heard of it before but it was my suggestion that if it existed it would be checkmate without any captures.
@Martin_Stahl If I think about it a little more couldn’t it just be fool’s mate?
No don't try to get it you will lose hundreds of elo
It could but you won't get a achievement
@fred1259 you can just find someone that will fall for fool’s mate

To fall for fool's mate, you need to play 2 horrible moves that nobody does.

It's not listed in his awards https://www.chess.com/awards/croissantdealer/achievements
Which would explain why people who execute a Scholar's Mate don't get it either. It's so secret that it doesn't show up on your public achievements page 
Seems like a fake achievement. I just won against Martin by not capturing anything of theirs. It wasn't pretty, but no achievement for it:

He captured yours, and also, awards don't come from playing with bots...
See the post by @David. The member that posted the video about it doesn't have the achievement. Add to that that the game was recently played https://www.chess.com/game/live/107571140882 and the supposed achievement had a date of January 23, 2023. It's just an edited picture using inspect element to change of the Second Opinion achievement that member has from that date

I completed a game with no captures on my second try and did not gain the award.

Actually, awards DO happen when you play bots. I've gotten some of the "book" achievements by playing bots and I've also gotten castling checkmate against a bot (and then later human opponents), so bots can give you achievements.

In scholars mate, you capture a pawn to checkmate. It is very unlikely that there would be no pawn there.
