If you are saying what I think you are saying(I didn´t understand anything)

Well The first one is 4 move mate

The other one is the knight attacking the bishop and the queen and also defending the pawn in f7 to stop the mate threat.

I only want to explain what Joe is saying cause I know you dont understand what he are saying.

 

Good job Joe14

A couple thoughts on the first game:
  • f7 is the weakest point in Black's defenses at the beginning of the game, because it's only defended by his king. After e5 and Bc4, Black must be constantly on-guard for attacks against this square.
  • 3.Qf3 is a poor move because it develops the queen too soon (it becomes a target) and takes away the knight's natural square (f3). It's a "One Hit Wonder". If your opponent walks into Qxf7# you win, but most opponents won't fall for that so you've simply given yourself an inferior position.

 

A couple thoughts on the second game:

  •  f7 is the weakest point in Black's defenses at the beginning of the game, because it's only defended by his king. After e5 and Bc4, Black must be constantly watching out for attacks against this square. e5 was not played in this game so Black could have defended with the simple e6.
  • 2.Qf3 (like 3.Qf3) is a poor move because it develops the queen too soon (it becomes a target) and takes away the knight's natural square (f3). It's a "One Hit Wonder". If your opponent walks into Qxf7# you win, but most opponents won't fall for that so you've simply given yourself an inferior position.

this isn't strategy, it's more like ameture play. that trick won't work in tournament play. in other words, avoid relying on those moves heavily, otherwise, those plans backfire (I'm sure you are aware of the ways they could backfire)

LATOSO, your initial position is composed... it wouldn't result from normal play. The tactic's based upon the same ideas as the previous diagrams:

 

  • f7 is the weakest point in Black's defenses at the beginning of the game, because it's only defended by his king. After e5 and Bc4, Black must be constantly on-guard for attacks against this square.

 

If Black was watching where White put his pieces, he would have noticed f7 had two attackers but only one defender and so played 1...O-O to defend that square and simultaneously develop two pieces.

sugaristan's pattern is called Legall's Mate and it's a good one to know.  :)

Strategy: a plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result

 

The following position and subsequent set of maneuvers will show how black thinks of a strategy, and then applies it to the given position. It will also show how black continues to follow through on the over-all plan even as the position changes.

 

Black's over-all strategy is to use his queenside pawns to keep either the white knight or king busy, while breaking through on the kingside with his king.
