king314 sez: All you need to know is four moves from the start and you'll be able to defeat many "okay" players.
You will only defeat near beginners with this trick. Even against "okay" players, you won't get away with this.
Four-Move Checkmate
Sort:
The position you show on your board is not mate as the black knight can take the queen
Here is a better example of the Scholar's Mate aka 4-move checkmate.
what about a two move
Two move mate is just a complete blunder on White's part
The four move checkmate requires a positional error on the part of the atacking player. The defending player need only develop the ability to see checkmate threats one move ahead, and the attacking queen becomes a target that shifts the initiative.
Far more interesting, IMHO, is this miniature:
cool checkmates
um the checkmates never work
This is a miniature 2-movemate

hey! what's with the 1.f4?! It's not dubious. It's actually completely acceptable that also has the possibility of throwing off an opponent who hasn't seen it before. 1...e5 by the way is not a refutation, although it's probably sound enough. I actually used it a few times heading for a kingside attack.
Usually people play a morphed form of the 4 move checkmate in which the queen and bishop still attack the kingside bishop pawn but use their remaining pieces to sweep up after potential blocks

This only work on quick games and with newbs.
Check this one out.
I heard it actually happened due to touch move rule; black accidentally touched his king... lol

But some people also count the moves they're opponents makes so it would be a 7 move checkmate and not a 4, and the two would of course be a 4 moves long.
Bearing in mind these people are incorrect, as it is seven plys long and actually three and a half moves.

It can be.
No, it is. That's how the game works. 
Well, I guess so Rich. The '2-move mate', or Fools Mate, is indeed in two moves. The '4-move mate', or Scholar's Mate, is in fact in 3.5 moves. Who knew?

Yah that is the best checkmate you will never see
I'm kinda new to chess and to chess.com compared some of you, but I know a move called "the four-move checkmate". All you need to know is four moves from the start and you'll be able to defeat many "okay" players. Here is a diagram of the four moves.
Notice how both the white's queen and bishop are put in position to attack the king bishop pawn.
To defend this, black could have simply moved its knight in front of the king's bishop pawn, or moved its king bishop pawn foward one space. Either method works.
