3 Newbie Chess Traps That You Must Avoid
by Joseph Nguyen
Chess is a complicated matter and to make matters worse, there are chess players out there who want to make matters complicated. Get what I mean? I mean the sophisticated complexity of the labyrinthine mosaic of goal directed actions can be a really confusing matter...
Now, I'll start speaking English again. So what I meant to say is that there are people out there who just want to get you good - trying to take advantage that you don't know any better. They're the cheapskates that run the streets, you see and hear (and even smell) of them all the time.
And it's the same with chess - there are certain players who just can't resist setting up an early trap, in the hope that you'll fall for it and lose eventually. But these players, like all cheapskates, don't go much further than that. If it weren't for their traps and cheapness, then they would pretty much be free (in a bad way).
So how do you avoid these basic traps? Well, it's simple. You know them before your opponent does. I say opponent because even your very best friend can decide to surprise you when you're unaware (like with all the surprise birthday parties they've given you, yeah, you know what I mean).
And these basic traps include: the 4 move checkmate (aka Scholar's mate, although I don't see anything scholarly about losing in 4 moves), the 2 move checkmate (aka Fool's mate - for obvious reasons) and Legal's mate (which is definitely legal).
These are just 3 of the hundreds, and even thousands, that exist in the world of chess. And these are pretty easy to avoid, you just gotta play normally, according to basic chess principles and you'll never fall for any of these (or for that matter any other) ever again.
