How to checkmate in just 5 steps

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak{Answer}$

Good Question! I love chess! ♥

Chess is a complicated game. But there exist certain techniques to ease the game.

As of my knowledge, there are 2 techniques by which you can win the match within 5 moves!

♦ Fool's Mate - checkmate in 2 moves using Queen.

♦ Scholar's Mate - checkmate in 4 moves using Bishop & Queen.

Out of these two, Scholar's mate is more secure.

Fool's mate can happen only if the opponent leaves the King uncovered at the very beginning.

So, let's learn the Scholar's mate technique which has comparatively more possibility of victory.

As mentioned, Scholar's mate is the basic technique which enables a player to win the chess match in 4 moves.

I'll now explain each step to be taken to taste a quick victory in a chess match.

It's preferable to play as white to take advantage of one extra move at the beginning.

In case you are playing as White :

Move 1 :Move the King's pawn two squares ahead. [E2 - E4]

Move 2 :Move the King's Bishop diagonally towards left such that it threatens the King's Bishop's pawn. [F1 - C4]

Move 3 : Move the Queen diagonally 4 squares toward the right. [D1 - H5]

Note : You may also move the Queen diagonally 2 squares [D1 - F3] but there are high risks of being defended on the next move by Black King's Knight.

Move 4 : Take the King's Bishop's Pawn with our Queen. [QxF7]

I had told you that there are just 4 moves... Guess what? We won! ☺

♥ CHECKMATE! ♥

Wondering how? Let me explain... ☺

As you will see at last, White Queen has trapped the Black King so close that it can neither stay there at E1 nor it can move to E2.

But why can't the Black King himself kill the White Queen?

Answer is simple! Remember our King's Bishop waiting at C4? He is the one safe-guarding the Queen from the rival King. You might have noticed now that the Black King can neither step onto F7. Thus, He's TRAPPED!

Limitations of this Technique :

♣ This is somewhat like a Luck Game! It might not work always. Basically, Chess, being a Genius Game, can't be won in 2-5 moves unless your opponent is an amateur player. But in case you wanna win in 5 moves, there's no other ways rather than to try your luck!

♣ Since we are doing this at the beginning, there are high risks of letting your opponent know what your plan is!

♣ If your Opponent somehow blocks the Queen's path or give additional protection to King before you reach there, better try out any other strategy & give up the plan of Scholar's mate.

♣ Our Bishop waiting at C4 is vital for our victory. Getting it killed or blocked from its path to F7 can result in failure of the plan.

As I said, there are many such obstructles but it's the only way to win within 5 moves.

I'm attaching illustrations for each step to ensure your better understanding...

Hope this helps. Never lose hope even if this technique doesn't work out each time. You can still switch to other techniques with more moves.

No. of Moves increases, Chances of Winning increases!
