I am ranked so low I was actually able to successfully do a Scholar's Mate playing black ( :

 

I's this technically considered a Scholar's Mate?

Is this considered a "variation" of Scholar's Mate?

I guess so. But don't play like that if you care whether you win or lose. What was the plan if Bxg5 instead of Nxg5?

Avatar of chessuppes

Yap you are right Bxg5 gives him a piece and advantage.  Also in general I have noticed when I move my queen out early against decent/good players it creates problems for me.

Yeah it isn't a good idea to bring the queen out early. It just becomes a target and the other guy can develop pieces whilst attacking it. A general rule - knights and bishops first, castling, then the heavy pieces. Think of it as a race to develop your pieces to a useful square. Can your stuff be attacked where you put it? If you win this race you have an advantage because you are effectively playing with more pieces so you can do more things.

According to game review, every move except the first 1.5 was bad

Yes, because Stockfish doesn’t like bringing queen out early, which makes sense-it’s bad to do so.

Do you know how to do it if the pawns in front of the king and queen are forward?
