Me when he did qh5: Oh, you should put knight to take the queen!😄
Him: The less smart child would move knight to attack the queen
Me: 😥

This never works in a real game with someone over 900 rating so I suggest actually practicing a good opening or if you like early traps the fried liver

[Adam_the_One]

As a 530 whenever I see this move I laugh

[jacobthegamerhd]

Even if black blocks with pawn just take blacks pawn on e5. It’s a check and their room is hanging

[javierneveu]

Hey quick question should the king be in Default at E8?

[watersnorter]

[Hass-py]

I' m a beginner even i as 200 elo player had this much sense not to fall for this trap even without knowing it.

0:20 What I'll do if my opponent it's a "Smart child" and move the Pg6?

[EvelynVerzosa]

W scholar mate the one I watched is he used the bishop

[crownalgodoo]

what if theyre so stupid that they play a smart move

[sandeepshetty]

A smart child would not be stuck at a level, playing scholars mate against a less smart child.

Alright man here's the thing. I beat nelson, countless of times. This has no effect. Thank you for listening to my TedTalk.

My dad is always trying to weazle in a scholars mate. It makes our games so boring because all he knows is that, the 4 knights opening, and the kings gambit. I domt know that I've seen anything else out of him.

I LOVE punishing you SHAMELESS SCHOLARS GAY PALYERS hBlock the opponent’s queen with a g-pawn. Bringing your g-pawn forward is the strongest defense against the scholar’s mate because it threatens your opponent’s queen and forces them to move her away from the setup. ...
Bring your queen diagonal one space. You can also block the scholar’s mate by introducing your queen. ...
