Fool's Mate Move when Playing Chess

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Ken and I am talking to you today about Chess. Now we've talked about openings and a little bit about the middle game. Another opening that I failed to mention is what is called the Fool's Mate. I am only talking about this because it is not a good mood and everyone that plays Chess knows this move, but if you are unfamiliar with Chess, you want to be able to avoid losing in like 3 or 4 moves. Basically its the same King's opening, here we correspond, the Bishop comes out here, corresponds with the King, the Queen comes out here and this is opening up the Queen early and it is putting pressure on this piece here. The person doesn't notice the school's mate, the Queen comes down, check mate because the Bishop is protecting the Queen. Once again looking at this a little bit closer, you will see that the Bishop and the Queen is back here. So the Queen has come out early, it is putting pressure on this piece here, the Queen comes down and puts the King in check, that means on the next move the King is going to be taken unless the King can move. The King can take the Queen but he can't do that because the Queen is protected by the Bishop. Working the King move; he can only move one space at a time and he can move here. He is still in check, has no place to move and that is what is called Fool's mate. Three to 4 moves, you want to avoid that and you can easily avoid that which I will talk about in the future. Thank you very much."
