Altha

Do you know those guy that keep on doing move their queen and bishop onto that weak pawn beside the king and just keep building on their attack there? Does anyone know how to counter-attack them in the best way possible?

Some have suggested getting pissed off, and calling them names in the forums.

I'm only trying to find a counter-attack, not neccesarily abuse them.

Well, one way is this: 1.e4 e5; 2.Qh5 Qf6.

There's not really a strong counter-attack for black after two moves, but you cover f7, and e5 immediately.

Yeah... bring your knight to f6 early... also, this works....

I see this 4 move checkmate attack very often and here is how to counter-attack it without losing the e5 pawn:

That loses the f7 Pawn instead (White plays 5. Bxf7+ before retreating the Queen).

Here is how to counter the Bowdler Attack:
