I forgot it was also called the fool's mate I always call it scholar whenever somebody tries/pulls it off. Edit: im a dumbass I didn't watch the video I thought she did a scholar, but it was actually a fools mate pretty rare to be able to do it after 6 turns in the match.
The first thing Kobo did after Koyori opened up for the fool's mate was pick up the queen, at 0:43. She saw it right away, and let it go for a few more turns. EDIT: Nevermind, the pawn was still there, and could've blocked. Could've still been a quick checkmate, though, and Kobo was definitely watching it.
Kobo Kanaeru (2699) vs. Hakui Koyori (2856) 1. d4 c5! 2. e4 f5! 3. c3 Nf6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. dxc5 g5 6. Nxg5 a5!! 7. Qh5# 1-0 [Analysis] Opening: Even before the game begins, Koyori plays mind games with Kobo by claiming that the black pieces are stronger by virtue of their appearance. Confused but undeterred, Kobo plays d4, a cultured opening move. Koyori responds with c5, an unconventional gambit offering a free pawn in exchange for rapid activity. Kobo declines the gambit and opts instead to strengthen her control of the center of the board with e4. Koyori again challenges Kobo's center pawns with f5, another gambit with an undefended pawn. She also bluffs that she is not even thinking about her moves as a show of strength. Kobo declines once more and overdefends her d-pawn with c3. Midgame: Koyori brings out her horsey to add another attacker to the undefended e-pawn. Kobo also brings out her horsey. Koyori draws first blood, taking the e-pawn by moving in an L-shape. As she does so, she verbally taunts her opponent, dealing psychological damage. Kobo, enraged, strikes back by surprise attacking Koyori's c-pawn with a diagonal pawn move. Then, calculating with all the power of Stockfish, Koyori begins a kingside pawn storm with g5. Endgame: Mercilessly, Kobo takes the pawn, which has only 1 defender to 2 attackers. Koyori attempts to en passant the horsey on g5, to no avail. She then attempts to snipe the c-pawn in a straight line from the bishop, not realizing that they aren't playing FPS Chess. Finally, she makes her move: a5!! Just like AlphaZero, she begins a pawn storm on the opposite side of the board. This kind of flanking maneuver is a highly advanced tactic meant to overwhelm the target by force. Unfortunately for Koyori, Kobo takes advantage of Koyori's overextended frontline and deals a fatal blow: checkmate with the queen on h5. A long-fought victory without warning, leaving Koyori shocked and in awe of Kobo's hidden genius. The chess speaks for itself.
You can really tell Kobo went easy on Koyori when she decided not to utilize her RT-2PM2 cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile to attack Koyori's remaining pieces.
Koyori really should have utilized the BFG-10000 installed in the International Space Station in geosynchronous orbit approximately 420 kilometers above ground level with an orbital inclination of 51.63 degrees to initiate her counter attack, it's so simple a beginner could use it
Kobo in this one is the definition of "never let them know your next move" . Also, Kobo is pretty good at chess, if you ever watched her off-collab with Ollie when they're playing chess

That's one of the main advantages of going for the checkmate early on. There are likely to be so many pieces surrounding the king that they don't have anywhere to retreat to.
@@ThyRandomGuy Indeed, Ollie's said that Kobo is really good at chess. I think here she was playing up to her character really but still didn't want to lose haha. True kusogaki moves.
@@pineapplelord2422 not if you actually played on club or competetive level. The longest is actually the first 20-30 ish moves rest is just autopilot. I am quite serius a club level player can burn 1 to 1 and a half hour on the first 30 moves in competitions because they are so important.
It was actually kind of nice of Kobo to pretend she won by accident. Koyori didn't even know the pieces, and Kobo didn't want to make her feel bad for losing so easily.
Kobo gave away so many signs it's comical to watch. Picking the queen, the upward glance followed by a smile quite a bit before ending, turning fluent in Jap after her senpai was flustered. Good sport on her end though, respecting her senpai.
For me the most hilarious club house games moment was during ina's and pikamee's collab when ina was so insistent to not play chess until she did a random game and it landed on chess
The shortest game of chess is 2 moves for each player. White pawn 2 spaces forward, Black pawn blocking the Queen moves up, White moves a second pawn, Black moves the Queen down and wins. The game you just witnessed is actually this, with some fluff where Kobo hadn't yet noticed Koyori's King was open. Or, at least, was opening up the way to Koyori's king.
@@Gulyus The technical term for that scenario is the Mad King iirc. It is the quickest checkmate theoretically possible, even if nobody will ever do that. The more reliable variation which often will catch beginners by surprise is the Shepherd's Mate, which this mess sort of resembled.
@@SirFooplesTheThird nah, she definitely saw the play coming, you can see at 0:45 Kobo goes straight to the queen to line up a check at h5 (the same place she lines up the checkmate later in the game), but Koyori's pawn could've still blocked by moving her pawn to g6. She was waiting for Koyori to move the pawn up to g7, which she later does. The second she does, Kobo moves her knight, which was blocking her queen, from f3 to g5, lining her queen up for the checkmate at h5. She even says "bye bye" the second Koyori moves her pawn. Kobo played her like a goddamn fiddle and feigned ignorance the whole time.
0:47 kobo already figured out the strategy the moment she selected the queen, but she hold it because she need to make koyori's pawn second from left disappear first.
@@buffedpizzarolls5635 No, fool mate you play based on the opponent's move (a dumb move). Shepherd mate you play with the queen and bishop, but in sacrifice form, it is an attack move. The match has fewer variation patterns and the move is easily defended by a move from one of the knights (hardly works against someone experienced).
When I played chess with my grandpa as a kid, i remember moving two pieces and being in checkmate. He looked both amused and concerned at the same time. I was white player, moved the pawn diagonal from my king, grandpa saw this, moved pawn to let his bishop through, I moved another pawn, he moved his bishop into checkmate position… I think that’s how it went, it was close to two decades ago.
Kobo actually could have done it in 3 moves for sure maybe in 2 if she moved her left center pawn first and koyori moved her 3rd from the left pawn like she did.
I recently start to learn chess by myself on the internet. The webpage taught me that e7 pawn is literally a 'protector of the king' bc if you move him like koyo did, that's what happens. edit: it was f2 what i meant, not e7. thank you replies :) Dang I'm too newbie I don't even know what i'm saying XD
Its generally not recommended to move the f pawn because its susceptible to being checked by the queen. Similar to this game, its possible to get mated in two moves only.
If a guide actually said that about E7, this is quite what it would have meant. It's normal for E and D to advance first to take as much of the middle as you can. It's (From the white side) F and G that should stay put to guard where you'll be after castling right and H should move on the first chance that you have nothing more important to do to avoid getting cheesed by the famous "back-rank mate."
Which would be fine because you can still defend with the G pawn, or if you've previously moved the E or D pawns or still have your king's knight available, you have other means to block or escape, but in those few moves, Koyori managed to remove every possible defender while digging herself into an impossible hole... It's actually kind of impressive how badly she played!
I noticed this at 0:48 It looks like Kobo was actually going to going to finish Koyori quicker, but decided to play it out a little bit more. Sasuga demon lord Kobo-sama
The best part is that move was there since their 2nd move and kobo raised the queen up looking like she was going for it but put it down and played around.
my hero dr richard feynman taught me to never miss the opportunity to take credit for a complete accident lol. kobo especially has these opportunities quite often
I bet Koyori's Knight is Kobo's spy. When the two knights clashing, the black knight give an important information to the white knight, that "the king is unprotected, and the guards around is still sleeping." 🤔
Kobo definitely played the fool to screw Koyori. That long pause was her debating whether or not she should finish her so quickly lol
yep 😂
