chess players, 3 move checkmate?

[TimM]

Here's one you don't see much of. Chess author Eric Schiller claimed someone did this against him as a kid:


1. e4 e5
2. Qh5 Ke7
3. Qxe5#

[jokerswild]

1.g4 e6 2. f4 Qh4 mate.
or
1.f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4mate

couple other sequences exist

[TimM]

One player, rated about 1800 but who had playing for over 30 years, did the following as white against me in a blitz tournament:

1.g4 c6
2.f4 e5
3.f5 Qh4#

After the game he exclaimed "That's the 2nd time I did that!"

[mosta]

Is that because you think it is hilarious to suggest that Polish people are stupid?

what is your rating?

if you play in NY a lot it could be possible we've played

[TimM]

2243 on the June list.

I play mostly on Long Island but have played in a lot of the CCA tournaments in this area, and the US Amateur Team, and I've played at the Marshall CC in the city maybe a dozen times over the years.

No more than 1. If there are 2 or more, they'll argue for a month on the best method to scew the bulb in.

It's not very sporting of this chess champion to beat her opponent that way, IMO.

Why not? Polgar was making a difficult record simul attempt which is very physically tiring and it would be to her advantage is she could quickly dispose of clueless opponents.
