A chess trap that only complete morons fall for. The game is infamous for being the "two move checkmate". 1. f3 e5 (f3 is already a rather useless opening, as no pieces are developed with its aid) 2. g4 Qh4# White is mated in two moves. This trap almost never occurrs in actual play, as everyone who has even looked at a chess board knows how obvious this trap is. A similar trap is the Scholar's mate (which is Black's fastest loss) which goes as follows: 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 (Bishop's Opening) 3. Qh5 Nf6??? (Nf6 is a blunder to rule all blunders) 4. Qxf7# Black is checkmated. Again, this trap almost never occurs in regular play. Most chess courses warn about these traps very early on, so anyone who actually falls for them deserves a dunce hat.
