chess noob Quick Wins! is a new series of short videos, to demonstrate very quick wins! As a beginner, you become aware of the Scholar’s Mate and the Fool’s Mate, but neither of these show up in real games. However, there are tricky quick checkmates and wins that occur, even at the intermediate level of chess.

This was game by one of my subscribers (@ignominius99) – an amazingly aggressive 6 move win by checkmate!

This game started with the Center Game opening and seemingly my subscriber’s opponent with the Black pieces was unprepared. My subscriber set up an immediate attack on the weak f-pawn and CRUSHES Black! GG!
