Fast and Easy Checkmates

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and wanted to say hi. I recently joined my schools chess club and so far it has been really fun. To be honest I used to think chess was a boring game but I LOVE it now :) I'm still a newbie, I know how the pieces work and I know one checkmate called the Scholor's mate. Does anyone know any other fast and easy checkmates? Thank you! Laughing

Fool's mate, and Legal's mate.

But your opponents have to walk into them.

If you're looking for fast and easy, chess probably isn't the game for you.

Welcome! I don't know many of those fast checkmates by name (legal, fools, eg) but matojelic at you tube has short video that shows a summary of the "worst" losses. Learn them so that you don't fall for them.

However, don't learn them so that you can pull it off on someone. More experienced players might silently chuckle and easily refute your attack and before you know it, you'd be far behind in development such that the potential for you to recover let alone win will be greatly diminished.
