Four is the quickest mate without your opponent's direct cooperation.

I met someone who causes me to redefine our made up term, "non-chesser". I set up my board in a coffee shop and got up to get a tasty beverage. When I got back, this little girl, about 8 years old, was sitting at the table on the white side of the board; her mom sat at an adjacent table. I sat down and said, "Do you play?"
"I wish," she replied.
"Do you want me to show you?"
"Yeah!" her face lighting up.
Over the next 45 minutes, we played an instructional game. I lead her through opening principles (including how the pieces move), middle game tactics, and ended with a basic mate at the end (she # me, of coarse ). Now, this little girl knew nothing of the game and picked up on it very quickly because she was so interested in it. She was a "chesser" from the beginning and didn't even know it.
What?
Having trouble reading?

If I'm not mistaken, there are eight different variatons to that mate in 2.
(Considering order of moves and f3/f4 being played.)
I might be mistaken, though.

I guess that's what happens when two question marks play each other.

The kind of checkers where you start off with a king...

I know this one, it's the people who taught the mate in 3. They explained it by checkmating him/herself.

"Why do you keep staring at the checkerboard ice cream slice? You should eat it before it melts."
"Which yacht should I buy?"
What? That's an L?
"If I only have a king left it's stalemate, right?" (Heard this one recently)
"You're really good at chess? You must be good at checkers to, since they use the same board and all right?"
This quote drives me crazy
Whenever my eight year old sister can't move her king she says "haha it's a draw!" Then I explain that if it worked like that it would be a draw instantly anyway. Then she moves another piece. Although to be fair, she does play chess better than a lot of adults.

You can checkmate in 3 moves? Is that the minimum? The minimum is in 2 moves. Send me a mail if you still didnt figure how to do it.
When someone praises me and says, "This boy can beat you in one move!!!".
LOL
When you ask someone what he knows about chess and he says "The goal of chess is to eat all your opponents pieces".
it's eassy to checkmate in 4 moves, did you know that you can do it in 3 moves?
did you know nobody ever gets mated in3?
