Chess, i need to beat my dad at chess for the first time!?

Question

Is there such a move as the three move check mate and if there is how do you do it?

Answer 1

ya forget all that 3 move stuff, control the center; castle early, think what hes trying to do - mount an attack an at the same time spoil his plans.... if you want to i can play some games w/ u on yahoo, thats all ima do today anywayz jus email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

OK, I assume your Dad is good, but not that good.

I'll ignore a three move variation of Fool's mate, because I doubt your Father is mentally handicapped.  Try the feint at Scholar's mate.

1e4 e5

2 Qh5  (no mate threat because no Bishop to back it up, but he may panic)  Nf6

3Qxe5+ Qe7

4Qxe7 (trust me, your e-pawn will thank you:)) Bxe7

4Nc3 ...

I t is only a pawn, but he may be so discombobulated at having lost it that he screws up more.

Warning: if this works it will only work once.

Answer 3

Don't bother because if your Dad is a decent Player there is no way he's going to fall for scholars mate.

If you want to beat your dad pick up a book like Laskers manual and learn to play Chess properly.

Answer 4

yes there is but its really rare becaue you and your father have to do 3 very specific moves in row that lead up to it, i would just think all of your moves through and plan ahead

Answer 5

Its better to see the moves either 2 moves or 3 moves rather than explaining so just check this youtube link to do that 3 move checkmate or 3 move checkmate,but it depends on your dad's play.

Answer 6

See the link.

Yes, it is possible to checkmate someone in 2, 3, or 4 moves, but these openings are so well known that almost nobody falls for them.
