Do you know the four-move checkmate in chess?

Yes!


It goes down like this:

1: You say "Look over there!"
2: You swap their queen with yours while they're not looking
3: They look back and you say "Checkmate!"
4: They punch you out

...right?

 

Unfortunately, that still wouldn't put you in checkmate.

 

Really?

No wonder people keep punching me Australia says no to useless chess moves, Tyi...

 

I'm sure that if you were to read the last page you will see that it is not useless.

 

For the curious ones...

 

I didn't know until i looked at the animation on that site. I haven't been beaten that way, and I hope I never fall for that.

 

I've never used it, but I am familiar with it. It brought out some colorful language the first time it was used on me.

 

Yes. And i enjoyed punking people out with it. You gotta be careful though, otherwise it cold painfully backfire.

 

No

 

I know it but I've never attempted it or had it attempted against me. Then again, I don't play much anymore. A shame, because I've got a beautiful chess set right here by my fireplace.

 

Yep. As mentioned it only works on new players however.

 

Nup. But I did have this one Czech mate...He could dish out some pretty nice moves

 

When I used to play chess I'd use it against a person I had never played against. If they knew how to defend it then I knew I was going to play at least a decent game. You have to have a backup plan though just in case

 

Does it count as a 'yes' if I've forgotten it?

 

I dont. my bf sometimes wins that way when we play chess.

 

Yes, though I've never attempted to use it on anyone.

 

nope. but I've probably fallen for it in the past...

 

Honestly, yes, but that's my brother's fault.

 

can't play chess

 

Yes I do.

It was my first chess game I played and I fell victim to it.Never again have I fallen to it.

 

No.

 

Does "when drunk" count? Cause then it'd be a yes...

 

One move? I wasn't aware there was such a thing. I know the two move checkmate though. But it can only work if you don't go first.

 

Yes. Experience is a harsh teacher.

 

Yes, yes I do...
