Ah.. for black? hehe I was thinking for white..

White can do that, black is 3 moves as the aggressor. 4-moves is standard fools mate.

Never heard of anyone falling for those mates by black. I've seen people pull out more "complicated" variations of fool's mate. Not a 4-move mate, but like 7-10.. all attacking the same pawn and mating on the same square.

That's part of the fun of chess, recreating strategies and masking what you're doing. 3 moves is the fastest I've ever won. That dude won't ever play me in chess again. lol

Nod, totally.. like I said, good thing about going for fool's mate, is because if you know what you're doing, you can pull out a pretty intimidating attack on the king side. Sure, it's not but hot air against ppl who know what they're doing, but on intermediate level, it can be pretty threatening.

They just started game 3 (Kasparov v Deep Junior). Kasparov opened with d4 again, and DJ countered with the Slav Defense again.. First 6-7 moves are nearly identical to game 1..
