    In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov analyzes the game where Alireza Firouzja tried the Scholar's Mate trick (or the early queen attack) against Hikaru Nakamura and got brutally punished.
    The game started with the moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5, and after Nakamura defended the e5-pawn with 2...Nc6, Firouzja played 3.Bc4, aiming to deliver the Scholar's Mate Qxf7# on the next move.
    While one would think that only complete beginners would try this dirty opening trick (Fool's Mate), the reality is completely different. In fact, the average rating of players who try this trick is 1400!
    Therefore, you should definitely know how to punish this Scholar's Mate trick early in the opening! Watch this video lesson and see how Nakamura brutally punished Firouzja for attempting this opening trick.

    My self advice for chess:
    1. If lose two games in a row don’t play anymore until tomorrow.
    2. Don’t drink more than one beer while playing.
    3. Play at the hour of the day when you win the most. I always seem to lose in the A.M but win before dinner.
    4. Always ask myself if my queen is safe on every move.
    5. I use a stylus to move pieces on tablet because sometimes my fingers are clumsy and make a wrong move.
    6. Put down the stylus between moves so I don’t rush and make a stupid mistake.
    7. Don’t suddenly change my opening style without playing many times against the computer first to get used to it.
    8. Play one game against the computer first to get focused -then online.
    9. Don’t start a Rapid game knowing you need to go to the toilet.
    10. Find the board and piece colour and style that is easy on the eye but does not camouflage pieces. Don’t have dark wood pieces on very dark wooden textured squares or off white pieces on off white squares that make them difficult to notice when you are concentrating on a different part of the board.

    There was a game of Hikaru vs Jeffrey Xiong where Hikaru played Bong cloud and won. In that game Hikaru got lucky after having ridiculously bad position against Jeffrey. From that day on any stupid move I face be it wayward queen attack, bong cloud, the fred, polish orangutan etc, I opt for positional long play against my opponent, coz it was what Jeffrey did against the bong by Hikaru, and to my surprise or lack of it none of the game go that far, mostly my opponent become anxious or something but they blunder not getting the position they want. Helped me win lot of games

    My Dad was usally starting with scholar mate setup. As a kid I was trying to defend, always loosing (He never gave me any head start) , but one day, when I was about 10, he lost three games in a row (also starting with a scholar playing black). We played few more games with different opening, but I started to win to often for him, and we stopped playing with each other.

    Secrets of Opening Surprises volume 7, published in 2007 by New In Chess, contains an article on 1 e4 e5 2 Qh5 titled “Not Going for Scholar’s Mate” recommending 5 Ne2 after both 4…Nf6 and 4…f5!?
    The author? Hikaru Nakamura
    Wondering if Firouzja thought he had an improvement on Hikaru’s text, but Hikaru improved first with 6…Na5

      That's great to hear! The early queen attack can catch opponents off guard, and if you have a strategy to counter it effectively, it can give you a significant advantage. It's always satisfying to punish early queen attacks.

    Looks like a blitz game as White consistently overlooks simple replies. f4 was clearly bad after the obvious e4. At the end, he is in a bit of a tangle, resignable against Nakamura though premature at club level. Qe2 loses a Knight after c4 Nbc3 b5 with the N on a4 trapped. Nbc3 is less obvious; if d4 Qe2 and if dxc3 Rxd8. Bf6 however renews the threat.
