Default Re: chess players, 3 move checkmate?

[ QUOTE ]
But three moves later, Hunter knew she was no match for the world champion standing in front of her. With a swift, "check mate," Hunter became the first of hundreds to fall to Susan Polgar, a four-time women's world chess champion.

How cheap. It's a simple trick that doesn't work once you reogonize it. It's actually 4 moves: E4, Bc4, Qf5, Qf7++, but they probably counted 3 because black only made 3 moves.



Black does something that doesn't get in the way. It's not very sporting of this chess champion to beat her opponent that way, IMO.
