That darn 4 move checkmate

I have experience as a chess player and I'm disappointed to say that at least 35% of the players I have played against have used that attack. I can't believe that people who use that call themselves chess players. They are not worthy of being given a trophy or getting a "good game" note.  I have a message for the cheapos that use that four move checkmate: you aren't playing chess and you are not deserving of an opponent who spends their time studying and experimenting the full extent of chess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stop the madness!

    After all this is also a checkmate! that we should take into consideration!

    So a good chess player should be aware always be on alert! like a soldeir who goes to the battle!

    I've lost a few games to this, and probably one or two where my game ended in the same general position, only it took 5 moves instead of four.  In that game, I'd have to say they deserved the win because I was stupid enough to move the only piece that was protecting the crucial pawn.  :P   However, I find it really annoying when someone tries to play that, because it's basically an insult to anyone above the 1200 level.  It's like saying that they think you're stupid enough to fall for it.  It does give you an advantage though, because it tells you that they're a beginner and you have the opportunity to harass his/her Queen while developing your pieces.
