Today I tried to apply the so-called Scholar’s mate<\/a> move on the AI. You don’t know what
\nScholar’s mate means? It means, setting the opponent checkmate within 4 moves
\nignoring any threat of him. As this move is very basic, you won’t see professionals
\nplaying that move in any way. Amazing how quick the AI was beaten!<\/p>\n


\nI set the AI to Medium-to-Low difficulty in order to do so as on low setting the AI plays too defensive!<\/p>\n

I’ll show you the moves of both players (White seems black and vice versa – thus the pawns as demonstration):<\/p>\n

\u2659= White – \u265f = Black<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u2659e2-e4<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u265eb8-c6<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u2655d1-h5<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u265fb7-b6<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u2657f1-c4<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. \u265fa7-a5<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. \u2655h5-f7#<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Checkmate of Black in 4 moves – the classical Scholars mate! – the AI made it easy for me as it was not threatening me in any way but just moving it’s pawns. Piece of cake!<\/p>\n

    As you can see, 2 seconds (a new personal best…) and all was over:<\/p>\n
