    You could have sac your bishop instead of the queen

    In the Dutch Defense Mate, e4 is very risky as they can just play Nf6, and your bishop is still trapped and you lose your bishop right after. So I recommend you play Bg3 instead, so you can save the bishop.

    there was another possible mate in 2 without needing to take the center pawn in 2:18

    Did you know you can deliver such fast checkmates when they are mate in one and your opponent does nothing about it?
    The more you know 🌈🌈

    Ummm how even I with 2456 elo is a gm but congrats this is the first person I saw with 266 elo but a gm

    A great video. background music needs to be less distracting.

    I didn't know top ten is pronounced "Tap tin"😂😂😂

    Here is also a faster checkmate to the Owen's Defense:
    d4 b6 e4 Bb7 Bd3 f6 e5 and then…. Bxg2. Haha we caught you!
    Qh5!
    g6 forced, either Qxg6 or Bxg6, hxg6 and you take the pawn and win.

    honestly, no one is gonna fall for scholars mate, but a variation of it. for it to work you must sacrifice probably a bishop and check mate with queen

    (Italian game smothered mate) Here's the moves it starts with

    As a chess intermidate with 399 ELO, I really like the Italian Game Mate thingy.

    The owens defence seems legit. AND HE SACRIFICES THE QUEEN!!!!!

    How is the first one checkmate when the pawn can take the knight

    What about Bongcloud mate. A checkmate for white
    1.E4 E5
    2.Qh5 (Wayward queen attack.) Ke7
    3.Qxe53#

    chess is a game for idiots who think that they are smart

    In the first one, the pause on "if Qd2…" 😂😂

    Scholars Mate can be prevented with over 10 different moves. However, it depends on how the queen wants to mate, (from H5 or from F3) For F3 there is pawn f6, and Knight H6 for both types of the mate. Knight F6 recommended for the F3 mate. H6 for the H5 mate, it defends the mating square.

    bro I got mated by all of this tactics 💀

    dou you think i can try scholar mate at 1000 elo?

    Uh chess I keep on getting someone in checkmate but it's always a draw

    The way he says question mark instead of misacuracy and double question mark instead of blunder makes me know he is unique

    for scholars mate doesnt pawn g6 counter it

    I thought I was good at chess until I watched this video

    James has been hitting the weights and delivering mates

    Omg please more videos of canty doing this dialogue chess

    Keep in mind the fastest checkmates are also the most unreliable

    it would be cool if the pieces fell like that on the thumbnail

    Opponent : That's Enough Chess for Today 🙃

    “You have to know this, here’s the moves that it starts with”

    Jschlatt’s fools mate loss is what got me into chess
