fool's mate

Black win:

  1. f4, e3

  2. g4, Qh4#

Black wins in 2 moves because white pushed their f-pawn and their g-pawn so that they couldnā€™t block against the upcoming check by the Queen on h4.

Birdā€™s Opening, Fromā€™s Gambit (3rd variation in the video):

  1. f4, e5

  2. fxe5, d6

  3. exd6, Bxd6

  4. Nc6, Qh4+

  5. g6, Bxg6+

  6. hxg6, Qxg6#

White can do anything but move the e-pawn, d-pawn, g6 or Nf6, or Kf2 for this to work (I will discuss about these lines in another note). Move the h-pawn then we will play Bg3#, people are more likely to fall for this trap than the others.

White win:

  1. e3, f5

  2. d4, f5

  3. Qh5#

Black needs 2 moves and white goes 1st so make it 3 moves to checkmate

Sometimes black will play the Dutch:

  1. d4, f5

  2. Bg5, h6

  3. Bh4, e3

  4. fxh5, Qh5#

This is more likely to happen as Black plays moves that eventually lead to the same foolā€™s mate effect.

In case Black realizes the checkmate threat and pushes the e-pawn:

  1. d4, f5

  2. Bg5, h6

  3. Bh4, e3

  4. e3, Qh5+

  5. Ke7, Bxg5+

  6. Nf6, Bxf6+

  7. Qh4+, Kf7

  8. Qxd8

If Black takes your Bishop with the pawn you take the Rook on h8 with your Queen.

Say they donā€™t block with the Knight then you devour the Queen with the Bishop.
