I mentioned an opening I usually use, knight's defense, as about the only opening I know, but there is another. I don't know the name, but you can move the queen and bishop out in a way that allows for a quick checkmate if the opponent doesn't catch what you're doing.

You move king's pawn up one space, then queen in front of the bishop's pawn, bishop to c4 (if white), then queen to take the enemy bishop's pawn. The queen is guarded and safe, and the king has nowhere to go unless the queen's pawn was moved or something like that.

That's called fool's mate. There are COUNTLESS openings; it's one of the most studied aspects of chess.

Fool's mate. Funny and accurate. I'm not sure there's an opening where you can get a checkmate in less than four moves, like Fool's mate.

Other than Fool's Mate, which is two, the next quickest is Scholar's Mate, which is accomplished in four.

Hi all. I'm still new here on AF, but I play chess regularly, so I figured I'd check in on this thread.

I'll play you guys sometime Smile Not now, but soon!

ps. Watch out for Tartarus Sauce. His cute cat demeanor doesn't mean shit!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
