How to Achieve Checkmate in 3 Moves | Chess

---------------------

Hi this is David Sullivan, for Chess NYC. Some people think chess games are long, slow and boring but they can actually be very quick. Here is an example of a three move game of chess.

White starts by moving the center pawn in front of his king, he does that to free, more pieces, black does the same. Now a frequent beginners move here is to play the queen to h5, white brings up the queen, which develops a piece and he is attacking three pawns, although only one of the pawns is actually unprotected. Best for black here is to develop his knight, and protect the pawn, but he can make some pretty tragic mistakes here. He could play the king to e7, and then after king goes up to e7, which is kind of crazy, you're bringing your king towards the enemy, when he wants to be behind his own pieces, and he also blocks his own bishop and queen, preventing them from moving. White can go queen takes e5, check to the black king, the black king cannot go two squares and capture the queen, nobody can go to this square and block. And wherever the king tries to run, he will still be in check, checkmate.

So, three moves, game over, try not to let it happen to you.

If someone makes a king move like that, I wouldn't play them. I'd start teaching them the basics of chess lol

Always in these kinds of videos where a quick checkmate is presented, people seem to argue that nobody would do such moves and thus completely missing the point. This video’s purpose is to show the idea that the game can end pretty quickly if the opponent is careless. The point is that the opponent cannot play just any move and hope to get away with it. Chess is full of these kinds of moves where the opponent can lose instantly or at least lose material: this is just one case of the many. No, it does not aim to teach a player to always play 2.Qh5 and hope for 2…Ke7 --> it only shows that if 2…Ke7 is played then white wins with 3.Qxe5 and that’s it. If an opponent plays a very bad move then it usually loses the game. That’s the lesson.

i actually got this once. my opponent was trying a different strategy after my queen move and moved his king. happiest time of my life... set a personal record.

[David-bllf]

Wtf is this, no one is ever ever going to do that, not even my dog would do that move.

[muscularsquirrel]

I’m going to try this move against a “chess master” just because he’s doing 40 games at once and might mess up.
