Lucky. I feel like I watch so many of these videos and either never get into the exact position. Or I forget the video I watched cuz I’ve seen a million of them haha
As a 2177 rapid who has been playing the wayward queen against 1... e5 since 2000 elo back in November last year, nobody knew this trap to play against me but when I watched GM Igor Smirnov's video on this trap, I realised that if somebody knew what to do, they could easy crush me, so I adjusted my repertoire to account for this by playing 7. Nc3 instead of 7. Bg5 so there is no option to play d5 anymore. I love it whenever I see any videos on this lines. Great video.
@@jonathancauley5345 Morning Jonathan, we all have our struggles, life is not easy for everyone. I don’t want to make it about me. People everywhere have way bigger struggles than mine. I appreciate you asking 🙏🏼
First off, I really enjoy your enthusiasm in these videos! Contagious almost. I have a similar knack for endgame studies and delving into positions, but couldn't deliver it like this. As for the content, I have some lines to add. I just play 2....Nf6 against both moves. In fact, lately it's been my main second move in King's Pawn anyway. Saves a lot of theory :> In the Bishop's Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6) this invites the Urusov with 3.d4 exd4 4.Nf3 which I decline with 4....Nc6 transposing into the well playable Two Knights for Black. A few club members enjoy the Urusov, yet don't know how to play the Two Knights well. Against the Wayward Queen it's a lot more aggressive: 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nf6!? It's somewhat disrespectfully called the Kiddie Counterattack as it 'just' surrenders a pawn. Not something I'd necessarily recommend, but it plays very chill for Black actually: 3.Qxe5+ Be7 followed with 4....Nc6 and Black develops like crazy, with an awkward White queen on f4 (usually). Mind, it is better for White, so only play this line if you are a gambiteer.
im so blessed i have not had many people testing my chess skills with the scholars checkmate. my main problem in chess is when i get around to the mid game i struggle to comprehend what is going on.. eg.. i sometimes blunder pieces because i dont realise that they were defending something, eg my queen is pretty common. and then the opponent takes then im just🗿
Scholar's mate might seem like a dumb idea but it's actually incredibly strong against newer players. The ideas mentioned here to counter scholar's mate are quite complicated and probably too overwhelming for a newer player to memorize. But anyways, this video is amazing 💪
1:20 - Hey, you can put bishop on e5, and if bishop kill bishop, queen can go on e4, because rook don't target queen anymore, and same if you put knight on e5
Igor Smirnov had covered the same subject on his Remote Chess Academy channel a few months earlier, but his included some other variations. Neither of you covered the possibility of white responding to h6 by taking the knight.
Fantastic Video. But at 4:25 the Queen taking on H6 is quite rash. Because the Black Queen can escape on B7. Yes the White Queen is under attack; but it could safely move to H5. Still threatening the Black Bishop and Queen.
I felt this kind of pain before (When i'm still new at chess) i just got checkmated in just 3 moves by this scholar's check without knowing/noticing...
0:16 That's actually the worst move in that position. The queen can move to e4, deliver a check, and then capture the rook on h1. It's all downhill from there.
My friend plays scholar's mate EVERY GAME for some reason, so this video has been a great resource for me to win most of our games lol. Now I just need to stop blundering
Не перестаю удивляться шахматам. Знал 3 контры детскому мату которые успешно применяю. Но f7-f5, после Qf3 это просто бомба! Не знал про такой вариант.
Im a 500ish so i might be wrong. But when the opening is e4, e5 and i see Bc4 i just see the scholars mate coming. How i counter this is Nh6, the enemy in my elo sees it as a bad move as the knight is more powerfull in the centre. So they play Qg4 attempting the scholars, i can chill as the pawn is defended by the knight and the king. if they do any move that can bring more attackers at the f7 pawn i tend to do Qe7. In summary this is my simple counter: 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nh6 3. Qg4 Qe7 Then just develop and castle
Everytime i see my opponent try to scholars mate me i shake my head major, i rarely play it, only if i see an opportunity to read my opponent and think they are going to not see it very rare amd its very risky and the way i do its is i do it moves later if i see my opponent hasn't developed his pieces to where i can deliver a checkmate
If bishop blocks, bishop takes bishop (defended by knight on d7 amd rook). That allows the Queen to e3, but then bishop to h2 check, with a discovered attack on the queen, winning the Queen still
I once had a guy try to Scholar me. I realized it when he moved the Queen to h5. Unfortunately for him, he failed to realize that I'd already moved my Knight to f6. He ragequit when I took the free queen 😂
yoyoyoyoy Chessscape. I take it your from your accent that you are French, donc merci énormément mon ami. Tes vidéos sont, surtout ceux comme celui-ci, parfait pour les joueurs de mon niveau qui, comme moi, tombent dans le piège de ces tactiques stupides. I know those opening are terrible, but I never know how to combat them and end up losing anyway. Donc MERCI.
iused to play scholars mate when i didnt know alot about chess. Now i dont use it anymore because i know my opponents will block it, and also its kind of a meh opening if im being honest.
I really expected a video where I knew everything as a blitz 1800s, I can assure you, I didn't know any of the lines as I don't know any theory at all. It was pretty cool.. and uncool how I used to deal with these situations without significant advantage when these were possible
I love this. Never seen that queen trap before. And your personality makes the video 10x better
thank you v much ❤
Fr
You sound like you're trying to pick him up in a bar
1:53 this worked so well for me. they didn't suspect anything and then they lost their queen afterwards
I've been using this ever since I watched this video when it first came out. Works almost every time
Lucky. I feel like I watch so many of these videos and either never get into the exact position. Or I forget the video I watched cuz I’ve seen a million of them haha
@@brettbarreras48 thats where notation is important i think
It really gets them every time
I was also playing this opening but I found out how stupid it was

I usually see your videos when scrolling through shorts. I love the brilliant endgame studies. Definitely a well earnt subscription.
thank you very much! i will plan to analyse the Nc3 line as well soon 👌🏻
thanks sir@@chessscape
2:36 hahaha youre right there!🗿
This video is really good for us normally 1200 1300 players. Joy to watch! Make them more like this. I subbed!
thank you Jeroen
Same
Learning to counter early queen attacks at 1200 and 1300 range???
Disgrace to all >1000 players fr
☠️☠️☠️
You are 1200 - 1300 rapid.
Who is scholar's mating at 1200?
Love your commentary man! Could listen to it for hours. Hope your channel continues to grow
thank you so much. It means a lot to me, especially right now where i m at in my life..
@@chessscape oh no, that’s not good to hear :/. if you need any help, feel free to reach out.

@@chessscape true we all do and your very welcome.
My issue is that people always open with the queen first. It's so aggrivating
I agree
protect your pawn with Nc6, they'll bring out the bishop and you're in the same position
Yeah it’s so annoying…

Clicked for the thumbnail stayed for the funny character swaps
happy you liked it 😍
You play chess?
Banana mann
Now i have to find someone who will try to play Scholar's Mate against me
Every single time
im so blessed i have not had many people testing my chess skills with the scholars checkmate. my main problem in chess is when i get around to the mid game i struggle to comprehend what is going on.. eg.. i sometimes blunder pieces because i dont realise that they were defending something, eg my queen is pretty common. and then the opponent takes then im just🗿

Love this. Scholar's mate can be so annoying.
1:20 - Hey, you can put bishop on e5, and if bishop kill bishop, queen can go on e4, because rook don't target queen anymore, and same if you put knight on e5
WEAK moves!
1:21 But what if he defends with Bishop E5?
White only develops the queen and bishop so he is losing.
1:54
Smash them with f5
Brock Lesnar: happy f5 noises
As a beginner 1500 blitz rated this really helped me thank you
I’m 1100 and people still try to checkmate me with that stupid trick.
Stop flexing ur elo
1100 is average mate.
@@thenomads8470 ok noob
He just wanted to say at 1100 nobody should play this kind of childish game. @@cindychoo7
Bro I'm 2000
"I'm pretty sure you are not capable of winning a piece up." This cut deep
the pawn sacrifice against the napoleon attack is really nice... especially since its like a Rousseau gambit which is my favorite gambit as black
Happy that you explained all the possibilities. Thanks
0:02 one timed i blundered my knight and demanding a rematch from the guy who scholar mated me and he rejected
They are usually not good players 😂
I am rated 1239, and still going up… Recently the analysis said I played like 1700 player 😂💪
keep studying the game 👊🏻
Im a 400 and it said i played like a 1300
Where and how to you analyze your game?
I m a 1700 rated player and it say I play like a 2350
I played like 1850 in one 30 min game (1 blunder of losing knight but my opponent did not took it )
And next move was brilliant
Wow, I love this. Saving it and going to re-watch until I know it. Thanks so much, this is really great 😎👍
Igor Smirnov had covered the same subject on his Remote Chess Academy channel a few months earlier, but his included some other variations. Neither of you covered the possibility of white responding to h6 by taking the knight.
The queen can still be protected by moving bishop in front then if you take queen moves to the white square above it threatening the other bishop
I did not come here to learn how to counter scholars mate, no I know that well as its the only thing I play. I came here to better counter them
I love this guy. He has waaay too much fun with chess 🤣
I loved this one and more specifically your narating
"family fork" lmao.
Fantastic Video.
But at 4:25 the Queen taking on H6 is quite rash. Because the Black Queen can escape on B7. Yes the White Queen is under attack; but it could safely move to H5. Still threatening the Black Bishop and Queen.
I really love your videos and I get lots of tips. Thanks!!
thx!
I felt this kind of pain before (When i'm still new at chess) i just got checkmated in just 3 moves by this scholar's check without knowing/noticing...
You're awesome, man!
In less than 2 mins I absolutly loved this guy's blog style and his moves against a queen. Subscribe and like
Thank you ♥️
Learned a lot. Also, fun video, my brother!
this is the most chill chess teacher.
I love the way you say "push!"
wow i like how you explain it, simple and easy.
Loved it, i hate when players play scholar's mate. It becomes so repetitive and boring. Thanks a lot this was a great video.
Brooo your talking and personality is sooo good
I found queen trading early game will also make the opponent oblivious
Thanks Sir
you are one of the best chess youtube channels
thank you very much 🙏🏼
Love this video
I hate those suckers who think they know how to play just bringing out 2 pieces
0:16 That's actually the worst move in that position. The queen can move to e4, deliver a check, and then capture the rook on h1. It's all downhill from there.
No, don't you see the pawn on E5 blocking it? Also, if Qxe5, simply take by Nxe5.
💯 correct
Scholar mate is DUMB!
It is only for those who knows nothing about chess
And what do you in the first case if queen takes pawn with check instead of going to f3 please?
My friend plays scholar's mate EVERY GAME for some reason, so this video has been a great resource for me to win most of our games lol. Now I just need to stop blundering
the ads tho☠️☠️☠️
What if the opponent does not take the knight on d5 but instead defends with knight to a3, preventing the family fork in the first example?
Не перестаю удивляться шахматам. Знал 3 контры детскому мату которые успешно применяю.
Но f7-f5, после Qf3 это просто бомба! Не знал про такой вариант.
Wayne Queen Attack is swell not dumb, oh and its name is not scolars mate, if you didnt recognize
Lovely!!
Im a 500ish so i might be wrong.
But when the opening is e4, e5 and i see Bc4 i just see the scholars mate coming.
How i counter this is Nh6, the enemy in my elo sees it as a bad move as the knight is more powerfull in the centre.
So they play Qg4 attempting the scholars, i can chill as the pawn is defended by the knight and the king.
if they do any move that can bring more attackers at the f7 pawn i tend to do Qe7.
In summary this is my simple counter:
1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Nh6
3. Qg4 Qe7
Then just develop and castle
Great video!
New subscriber!
thx!
Funny guy! 😂 Like it! 👍
scholar's mate is dumb, but it has amazing instructional power for beginners.
super useful, now I am going to forget everything you taught and get checkmated in 4
hahahaha watch it again to make sure you remember it!
Your videos are really good
I actually used most of this defense earlier without knowing the scholars m8 but fumbled the bag and blocked the royal fork. Still won though
That was a great vid thanks very helpful I subscribed and liked and will continue watching :D
thank you v much
But doesn't the queen usually take the pawn when you threaten her with the pawn g6?
problem is that if they switch strategies once you block scholars, then this doesn't really work.
0:15 if we push f7 pawn to f6, the queen can just fork the rook and the king by killing the e5 pawn
Qf7#
Everytime i see my opponent try to scholars mate me i shake my head major, i rarely play it, only if i see an opportunity to read my opponent and think they are going to not see it very rare amd its very risky and the way i do its is i do it moves later if i see my opponent hasn't developed his pieces to where i can deliver a checkmate
the funny thing is at low elo when I do the double attack most players take the pawn with bishop and blunder the queen
Thank you thank you thank you
1:30 the queen can escape by blocking the attack with the bishop, and then escape to a safe square on the next move?
If bishop blocks, bishop takes bishop (defended by knight on d7 amd rook). That allows the Queen to e3, but then bishop to h2 check, with a discovered attack on the queen, winning the Queen still
I once had a guy try to Scholar me. I realized it when he moved the Queen to h5.
Unfortunately for him, he failed to realize that I'd already moved my Knight to f6.
He ragequit when I took the free queen 😂
I play many bullet games, just drop from 400 to around 200 rating recently
You mean from 1400 to 1200... I don't think there is a rating below 1000.
"Family fork" 😀😀😀 Never heard this before 😀

You realize he's Arab right...? 😂 🇦🇪
Edit: wrong flag haha
offhand, I can think of 6 Arab countries that were colonized by the French. I'd know that accent anywhere
This actually was useful
Nice sir
RadioJan vibes… I like it😮
is knight g6 also a good idea?
At first I thought it was a random person from another tutorial, then I realised it was you lol
me again 😅😅😅
I like the way to speak. It sounds like "what? You gonna disrespect me with that cheap move?! I'm gonna spank you!"😂
Will you consider making a video about italian rousseau gambit i lov that opening :d
sure 😊
At the end, you won the bishop on h6 but Qxc7 is uncomfortable for black.
if you attack with the pawn be careful if u dont have ur knight out yout opponent can play qxe5+ forking the king
and the rook
what if white pawn goes d5 in the last flow?
Actually after he goes to Ne2, you play Nd4, attacking and threatening a fork on c2
iused to play scholars mate when i didnt know alot about chess. Now i dont use it anymore because i know my opponents will block it, and also its kind of a meh opening if im being honest.
Used bishop for mate, lost bishop cause of failed mate
actually he can take the pawn on e5 and get a free rook due to check,this opening in called wayward queen attack
I'm already 1500 and ive never encountered this thing😂.
I didnt even know you could use traps on this one.
Great!
I like your videos and I guess that's because of ur personality...
Also can I know where ur from? Coz Google doesn't know 😅
0:19 what if he takes d5 pawn and pins the king and rook
ok but I did that and they slipped in and attacked from behind...
broo i have never seen your face so this is not what i was expecting
this is much better!
thank you bro 😅
Someone tried this on me and I defended the square with a knight, they did not see the knight.
Players who open with the Queen trying to go for the quick checkmate are great, I know that Im gonna be getting a win! 😅
I really expected a video where I knew everything as a blitz 1800s, I can assure you, I didn't know any of the lines as I don't know any theory at all. It was pretty cool.. and uncool how I used to deal with these situations without significant advantage when these were possible
your honesty in the way you assess your knowledge in this opening is refreshing. we cant know everything its ok 😉
@chessscape right.. and thanks for the engaging video that led me to watch it till the end, leading to learning new things
Never saw a guy dunk on himself so hard in a Chess video haha. White destroyed.
Although most take the pawn so people move their king and then lose the rook
