Phlabibibibibibit,

I did read his profile once. Very strange.
I'd love to see the pgn you're working on. Especially forcing him to deliver mate! That would be tricky.
So he resigns if you play an 'un-copy-able' move. How does he handle the White pieces if you send him a game with you as Black?

He's found a way to lose every game: As White, he plays 1.resigns. As Black, he is copy cat! 😉

Here is a quick way to mate in 5 vs. Copy Cat... I don't think there could be any way to force him to mate you... since the board is the same on both sides.

1. e4 e5 2. Qf3 Qf6 3. Kd1 Kd8 4. Qa3 Qa6 5. Qxf8#

Is there a quicker way?

I also wonder why Copy Cat would take a draw from Zach? There is only one reason I can think of..... Mmmmm, hmmmm!

That's why I thought it would be "interesting" 🙂
My apologies, however, because I must have mis-read your original post. 😳
I have a book somewhere with two mate-in-fours with symmetrical moves. I don't know whether they have move 2 or move 3 checks, though, so they may not help against copy cat. I'll try to find the book . . .

Found it. The Guardian Chess Book by Leonard Barden. Includes a section with Barden's favorite composed problems. This one is by Sam Loyd. I've 'translated' the solutions from headache notation to algebraic.

Solution 1:
1. c4 c5 2. Qa4 Qa5 3. Qc6 Qc3 4. Qxc8#

Solution 2:
1. d4 d5 2. Qd3 Qd6 3. Qh3 Qh6 4. Qxc8#

No, you read it right! I thought about it after I wrote it... Can't Be Done!

Yup, looks like 4 moves does it.

It's kind of funny that we're plotting and strategizing about how to beat copy cat 🙂
I've even gone to the books for openings preparation 😳

I might not bother, actually. I was just sort of curious what he'd do in response to an 'un-copy-able' (is 'uncopiable' a word?), and since I've been assured he resigns in such a case, I'm no longer too curious. I'd probably hit him with one of those four-move mates above, in which case there's not much a game to follow and we've already got the score!
