Does anyone still fall for this? I am tempted to think that my opponent in this game did it for fun...who doesn't know about this mate? Doesn't it have a specific name?

I think he's exploring..... every game has a version of the pawn moves... curious; suspicious even..... 😉

Maybe 🙂

But I still think he must have known something about what he was doing...

It just happened again! Just for fun, I started a game where I pre-positioned the pieces where I could execute fool's mate in one and somebody accepted the game offer! I couldn't believe it! Luckily for them, though, the game wasn't rated... 🙁 🙂

LOL unfortunately not...

That was my plan...set up several matches with me to play with a mate in one and skyrocket my rating 😛

If only if only...

Here's another game...set up as fool's mate...I can't believe it...

I even titled the game "I'll Bet You $1,000,000 You Can't Win" and someone accepted the game... LOL

Game 2897060

I hope these people are learning a VALUABLE LESSON 🙂
