![]() I think it's fine to list it in the article (it is referenced, after all), but putting it in the lead-in paragraph and making out that it's as widely used a term as "scholar's mate" itself seems to me rather misleading (I have similar doubts about "four move checkmate" to be honest, but at least that's not in the very first sentence). I've certainly never heard it called blitzkrieg ( this discussion shows I'm not alone), and the Oxford Companion to Chess, for example, doesn't give it as an alternative name (it actually gives blitzkrieg as an alternative name for progressive chess). I have moved this to the end of the article with the other alternative names. The article stated in the first line that scholar's mate was "widely known" as blitzkrieg.

(Black's best response is to block both threats with 3.Qe7, then chase away White's queen at his leisure.) ~ CZeke 22:49, (UTC) Reply Another "scholarly" response for Black in this line is 3.Nf6, which sensibly attacks the queen but misses the checkmate threat. I did a double-take when I read the bit about 3.g6 being "fine for Black," because I've always seen 2.Bc5, and in that line 3.g6 fails badly: White can respond 4. Wfaxon 07:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC) Reply True enough. I think this is why the line is called "Scholar's mate": It is not White, but rather Black who is the Scholar, who sees and responds to a threat but still fails, in contrast to the Fool who has no clue at all. The opening is also called single king pawn, half-open, or asymmetrical king pawn games (or openings). This opening is complementary to “open games or double king pawn games”, starting with e4 e5.įrench Defense, Scandinavian Defense, Sicilian Defense opening, etc come under the semi-open game (opening).Unfortunately in this page's current version of the mate, Black's motivation is less clear than this example: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Qh5 and Black, seeing that his e-pawn is attacked, defends it with 3.Nc6 only to lose to 4.Qxf7#. This opening of Black immediately breaks the symmetry. ![]() The “semi-open game” is a chess opening in which White plays e4 on his first move, while Black answers it with a move other than. This is called the “open game” chess opening, it is also known as the “double king’s pawn opening”. Black would also answer (e5) in a similar way.
