Punish Scholar's Mate in 2 Moves! [Counter Early Queen Attacks]

my favorite defense against the fool's mate (called scholar's mate here) is e4, c5, Bc4, Nf6, Qf3, Ne5 forking whites queen and bishop and also protecting f7. if white goes to h4 with his queen instead of f3 you simply play e6 permanently ending the mate threat followed by Ng6 driving the queen back.

good punishment,
created similar topic about chess, any feedback is greatly appreciate,
thank you

if you are under 250 elo and play this against someone, you will feel like a master

My solution for scholars mate is Nh6 so when they try to checkmate me I can take their queen with my knight.

How to not get scholars mate: Dont be dumb lol

I started chess about 3 months ago, watching your videos I went from 500 elo to 1250 and I feel like in 3 months I’m making good progress!! Thanks for all your awesome videos, they have won me many games

I watched this and the very first game I played the opponent tries the Scholar's Mate and indeed loses the queen and resigned. I could not believe it haha, thank you for this counter!!

This definitely is not the most annoying opening. It either has to be Albin counter gambit or 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c5 (don't know the name). Although for black, I'm not sure what I'd pick

thanks again :)
bdw if I play chess longer I have found that I have similar nmbers of win / lose.

What can we do if the white bishop captures the black knight?

thank you i'm fed up of these scholar mate kids. Even though im a low elo pretty much 70% of my games are this move

I f I may, the scholar's mate shouldn't be frustrating to play against if it's the easiest strategy to understand.

What about pawn to f6? I can't counter pawn to f6

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful punishment!

Really love your content, great work!

Tq 😂😂because he lost his queen and lost everything

If you use scholars mate you are probably brown

Fuck i am 800 elo and i always lost to scholars mate. I guess chess is not for me i am fucking dumb.

Hi, How you strategically position your pieces before you attack ?.

i hate this opening

This is soo good. I hope my chess buddy does not see this.

Nice one!

Thank you

I've been playing for 30 years and seen it all...I had never seen f5 before, its a fascinating and slightly unintuitive move and lo and behold I had the opportunity to play it tonight...they took f5 with their queen! then followed d5 and Bxd5??....it made me laugh so much!! thankyou

I watched a few videos of the same concept but yours was the most easy and concise, thanks.

Where is the link for that video where he addresses Q to E5?

watching this as someone who does that regularly

What if queen moves to e6 checking our king

Just used this, thanks!

These are top class lessons

From Brazil. Just played now and opponent lost queen 😂😂

There's that word again you keep saying "Tampo". Is it a chess term? What does it mean? Not in google... neither is "Booship" lol

This GM is interesting,never heard of him before!

Yeah but I disagree chess is the one game that even if u get his bishop u still loose if you blunder pieces. U have to teach people this only works if you know how to convert a winning position game to checkmate without blundering pieces. If u defend the ScholarsMate by watching these videos and u memorized it very well then your no longer in memory phase now u have to convert the position to checkmate. However in the midst you blunder a rook or worst a Queen then everything was pointless. Gotta teach them how to play a game from start to end without blundering pieces. If they defend the Scholars mate only to Blunder there Queen and both Rooks in the end game then they aren’t going to be able to convert these winning positions into checkmate.

ARGHHH What is TAMPO?????????

Thanks, Igor!!

'The most annoying opening video you're ever gonna open in "chass"....'

People who play this opening get destroyed on the board, humiliated in the chat, and then blocked 💅

This looks great, thank you 😅😊

This works so well

The d5 pawn push works nearly every time

This is unbelievable 😭 as soon as i watched the video, i went to play a game and my opponent immediately played this and won their queen 💀 thank you so much!

Thank you very much for this trick. Coincidentally the next chess game I played after this video my opponent tried exactly this attack and I absolutely smashed him (:

BRILLIANT ..!!!!!

Igor thanks for this video sir. Cheers to you
