How To Win At Chess In Under 5 Moves

1. FOUR MOVE CHECKMATE

This Move works Best with white because of the first-move advantage, but you can also do it being black in the game.

Set Up The Chess Board properly-

2. On your first turn, move the pawn in front of your king one or two spaces. It doesn't matter which.

3. Move the King's bishop (you know, the one that is next to the king) three spaces to the left, diagonally. Make sure he has a clear path. Definition: a path that will not get him killed.

4. Move the Queen (who should have an open, clear path) two spaces to the right, diagonally.

5. On your fourth move, move up the queen so that it demolishes the King's Bishop's pawn (the pawn that is in front of your opponent's king's bishop).

6. Your Opponent is now in checkmate! Your queen killed the pawn in front of the king's bishop, so the king is in check with no way to escape except to kill your queen. But your bishop is at the ready, so the opponent's king cannot escape. You Have Won.

TIPS

• Remember, the two and three move checkmates require your opponent to do a specific move. Since you can't tell them what to move, it is pretty rare when the opponent is doing exactly what you want.
• Always Be alert and try to work out in your mind what your opponent is trying to do. You never know... He might have the same stategy in mind!
• You cannot do the strategy at the end or middle. It must be done at the beggining, so don't postpone it.
• These are easy, simple to understand moves, and your opponent is a dope if he doesn't see what you are doing, so you might want to do one or two random moves to knock them off track.
• Do not move queen/bishop if they are in risk of being killed there.
