Stanley (FIDE 1), a well-known GP (Grandpatzer) and personality in Chessmaster has recently found a novelty in the controversial and popular opening known as the scholars mate when playing against Garry Kasparov (FIDE 2851) which arises after 1. f3 e5 2. g4!! with this movewhite enters a well-konwn position havily analyzed over the years generally thought to be good for white

position after 2. g4!! a sharp, double-edged opening

Stanley then plays Qh4#??(this move is too risky)
(ironically, 300 years after this opening was first played and named, a checkmate has been found.)

update: I am planning on downloading the CM Demo and [playing a 300 game tournament with Stanley (to see how many games I can lose). I'll keep you posted. Actually, that'd take too long, nevermind/

Keep us posted in the chess section.

Only brainless rubbish here I am afraid!

*edit: sorry, actually this was quite brainless, just checked it!

Where did you come up with such cr*p?

For starters, it is not Scholar's Mate (it is Fool's Mate) and there is no way that any one past beginner would make such moves, nevermind Kasparov!

Here is Scholar's Mate: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Qh5 Nf6 4.Qxf7#
