I already know the one where you move the pawn in front of the king:) I want to win this years chess tournament for my school.

Posted by trond uskidscompute.com 6/30/2005 13:36:06 play online chess	Scholars mate... Message: I think it's called. At least here in Norway it's called something like that. It goes like this: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6/d6/... 4. Qxf7 mate. If 2. ... g6, then 3. Qxe5+ and 4. Qxh8. winning a pawn and rook for nothing. It seems many kids have problems defending against this "attack". One defense is 3. ... g6 and black is perfectly ok. Good luck in the tournament.

Posted by abiyaz_sicilian uskidscompute.com 8/28/2005 15:03:15 play online chess	Good Mates Message: The correct names are as follows. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nc6 4. Qxf7+ = Scholar's Mate 1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4++ mate is the shortest mate in the history of chess. And it's called the Fool's mate . Usually , I regard that a scholar plays the Scholar's Mate and a fool plays the Fool's mate , and it is also theoreticlly proved that Fool's Mate is earliest mate (2 moves) and the earliest stalemate is in 12 moves.

Chess news: Chess Notes -- There is increasing reflection among chess commentators that Norwegian youngster Magnus Carlsen, age 18, may be destined to be world chess champion, especially because of reports that Garry Kasparov is coaching Carlsen. Here is a game won by Carlsen against Teimour Radjabov from the Pearl Spring 2009 tourney, in Nanjing, China, a chess tournament with a towering average rating of 2,754. In this game, Carlsen as White eschews 3. d4 in favor of Bb5 against the Siclian defense, a line that eerily resembles a Ruy López. It is a tough struggle, in which Radjabov elects to develop his Knights in lieu of rapid castling. He gets those Knights posted on ... Bulgaria selected for world chess championship match -- The World Chess Federation (FIDE) announced that the 12-game world chess championship match between champion Viswanathan Anand of India and challenger Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria would take place in Sofia, Bulgaria. Tentative dates are April 5 through 24. The Bulgarian prime minister, Boiko Borisov, promised that the Bulgarian government would pay the prize fund of 2 million Euros (about $2.96 million) and organizational costs. He assured that "neutrality would be guaranteed." Singapore and Turkey also submitted bids to host the match. Surprisingly, FIDE received no bid from India, although Anand is a national hero credited with making the game of chess ... Mastering the Zwischenzug -- In the slow flow of the Argentine tango, the dancers suddenly stop and make a few violent moves before they slow down again and return to their unhurried glide. That's the essence of "zwischenzug" in chess. The German word describes an unexpected move, played instead of an obvious recapture or a retreat with an attacked piece. It could be a simple counterattack or the beginning of a spectacular combination. The American chess grandmaster Josh Friedel performed four zwischenzugs during his brilliant victory against the Dutch master Migchiel De Jong in the Open group of the 13th Unive chess tournament, played this month in the Dutch town ...
