Scholar's mate makes me unreasonably angry

Sort:
voortexxz

Scholar's mate has always annoyed me to the point where I refuse to play Bullet because that's all some people do, even in 10 minute games. It's just incredibly frustrating and I get really angry and I don't know how to handle it.

Same here

ngl, people who play scholar’s mate don’t know what to do after playing the opening

so just watch a Gothamchess video(he has one called, ‘dealing with early queen attacks’)

or just use the analysis feature in lichess or chess.com to find how to defend against it, either way, no difference.

If you can't handle scholar's mate then you are very bad at chess. Sorry, but this is the truth.

So who asked? I guess you should look at the title.

Say what you will, but it's true: If you can't deal with the Scholar's Mate (or the Wayward Queen and other openings like it in general), you are not good at chess. Period.

The moment you resort to pithy personal attacks is also the moment you admit that the other person is right. I admit I'm a bit brutally honest myself, but you really do need to understand why Scholar's Mate is objectively bad (and how to deal with it) if you want to get anywhere.

So, thanks for that. I'm off to do more productive things with my life now.

Your whole argument is a personal attack. lol. Good or bad is an arbitrary measure anyway so its also wrong. And your evidence is "Say what you will, but it's true:"

I wasn't even tryna start with anybody but oh well

Tbh it's less about not being able to handle it because I can block it, but it's just really irritating lol

An attempt at Scholars Mate loses the Bishop.
