Fools Mate

Does the fools mate really work? I mean like really really work... Other than a person who made a puzzle trying to find a mate in less moves than the scholars mate... How many times can you actually find some1 you can pull a fools mate on??? So back to my main question... Does it really work??

I've done it.


It was funny, because he really wasn't a total idiot when it came to chess.

He stared at the board for a while and then put the pieces back.

xD

I accumulated a lot of wins using this opening. But that was on my Nintendo DS, in wi-fi Chess in Clubhouse Games against other DS users. Keep in mind that a majority of DS users are kids to teens, so they were at best novice players that fell for my leet opening. 🙂

EDIT.. whoops, forget what I said. I switched Fools mate with Scholar's mate. Scholar's mate is the opening I won a lot with on the DS. Fool's mate, never came up 🙂

oh?

It works when your opponent makes specific bad moves.

For example:

1. e4 f6 2. d4 g5 3. Qh5#

Ooo I c!

The faster:

1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4#
