In chess openings, beginners often struggle with early queen moves. This can lead to the Scholars Mate or other traps involving tactics that lead to losing material. In this video, I hope to show the Wayward Queen Attack and other opening garbage that you can defeat and not worry about anymore.

When you try for scholar’s mate, blunder your queen, but win the game anyway. 800 elo life is wild.
Yup
I actually had to look up with an engine how to counter the scholars mate because it happend so often so i wanted a good counter😂
And yes, i’m also 800 Elo.
@@jeltehoekstra2952 the counter is to play enough that you learn to spot it. Also puzzle rush
@@FritzMeowstro spotting it and not getting mated I had figured out to some extend. But often I blunderd pieces. So I wanted a good counter against it so I could punish my opponent and win :D
And also because I got really tilted by it. Enough to make me not play for over a week XD
Oh and puzzles I do enough, I'm almost 1200 rated in puzzles while only 800 in rapid.
Never Heard about Botez Gambit?)))One of the strongest weapons of low Elo
I bet at least 50% of you are here because Nelson always bring out the queen early.
I used to hate nelson because he always destroyed me with his queen...I beat him last week, it was the happiest day of my life😂😂

I am here exactly for that reason and he still kicks my butt. I’ll keep at it lol.
It's really fun when you get someone who clearly climbed because of aggressive early queen attacks and there's really long pauses when you block their attacks like 'wait you weren't supposed to do fhat'
🤣🤣🤣
Mines left after I blocked with one pawn
Me in high school lmao
I think the best way to counter early queen attacks is to bring your queen out before your opponent could, what i usually do as black, or bring it out to confront the enemy queen
I was new to chess and climbed to 1100 with early queen attacks
Someone once tried a scholar's mate against me, but forgot to move out their bishop.
It was hilarious.
Bro that must be me 💀
So he just captured the pawn on f7? 🤣
I mostly use scholars in 3 check
I had somebody premove it against me but he didn't count on me playing Nf6 so I just took the queen and he resigned before move 4
@@milkwalkerjones633tip: if youre 500 or below, nh6 is very trappy if their premoving

I’ve lost hundreds of games because the opponents played the early queen attacks. It is extremely effective at beginner level. I reckon you can get to a decent elo just playing this.
And it's an ahole thing to do when your opponent is less than 900. It took me 6-7 times of being checkmated like this till I actually noticed how good the knight move is. Now I rarely ever panic when the opponent tries to be smart and cool with this attack.
I did

Thank you, Levy, today i've successfully blocked early queen attack for the first time and by the turn 8 i had a material advantage of +10, by the turn 25 my opponent retreated, because it is impossible to play with king and three pawns against five pawns, two rooks, a bishop and a queen, and it's all was possible only because i watched this video, thank you!

Me and my friends have dubbed Queen to H5 the North Korean Missle Gambit Because seems intimidating until you realize that there is nothing supporting the actual attack and usually backfires on them.
Had someone try to Scholar's Mate me with Qf3 a few days ago.
He lost in 14 moves.
I hate early Queen attacks, they only work on beginners and it's not a fun experience for them. I feel like people who play early Queen attacks are low level bullies that end up driving new people away from the game.
It is my personal mission to punish Qf3 at every opportunity.
I mean im rated between 1000 and 1300 (not sure if that is low to you) but i personally like early queen attacks because they lead to complicated positions rather than hunting for an early mate
God bless you. I play as a Guest on beginner level on a well-known chess site, but there are no beginners, there. A highly-rated friend told me “yeah unfortunately, the 2000+ crowd likes to troll beginner and beat up on the kids.” I nearly gave up on chess thinking it’s not for me.

@@Spheriment trade queens at start of the game , after that if you are over 250 elo you'll be able to beat him
Mina pretty much exclusively does the Wayward Queen if you start as black. It was good practice but sometimes the bot makes weird opening moves that messes up the line
This kind of play takes you a lot further than just beating bad Queen openings. A lot of games below 1000 just have openings that aren’t exactly straight from the database, sometimes dudes are just gonna throw pieces around. When people do terrible openings it’s just important to stay principled, develop the center, and wear down the opponent.

I went to play nelson right after this, lost first game, won second game cleanly
The trick is developing while attacking the queen so he has to keep dancing around while you develop, trading everything evenly and quick, force an endgame fast, don't fall for the early queen traps, nelson sucks so much at the endgame
Yeah
He sucks at endgames
I beat him in few moves. He doesn't even care about his kung. He's so greedy taking every pieces

@@filterock they played well
I like to think of a queen like a tank. The rooks are light tanks but the queen is a heavy.
It's a piece that has tremendous firepower and maneuverability. When you get used to using it properly it makes your chess way better.
One big difference: tanks are heavily armored and can stand shots from lighter weapons. The queen on the other hand has to run and hide as soon as she gets threatened.
Glass cannon is a good term
I'd say that the queen is actually the light tank (or LAV) and the rooks are heavy tanks. I'm mostly referring to maneuverability and usefulness. While tanks are very scary and all that, they have a hard time roaming the area and are very situational, whilst LAVs are more flexible and have much more use than just tanks
What about more of a sniper? Queen has the most maneuverability but deadly against singular targets, whilst being vulnerable. Rooks are more like aircraft, as they travel with a wingman sometimes. The queen is the special ops piece, versatile but weak on its own
Jokes on you Levi, I already 1v1'd Nelson and rage quit so many times that I remembered every line.

@@sunritroykarmakar4406 says the person who uses scholars mate
Queen is not too scary. Pawn is.
The scholars mate and the wayward Queen attack are two classic games that beginners need to play & experience ASAP as they start their journey playing 1.e4 e5 moves. Also taking your time to really study the board before making the first move that comes into your head is a difficult skill to master. Lasker gives good advice: "When you see a good move, look for a better one."
When u finally get to 1000 rating then someone tries to do scholars mate....

You've been playing the knock off imitation game, Cless

As a beginner it’s so satisfying to finally stop the bloodbath and watch them stop and run as I defend this finally.
Honestly, just watching you play chess and narrate your decision making process has helped me more than anything I've done, by a wide margin. Having only started playing seriously a few weeks ago, it's helping me develop my own internal monologue about how to strategize. Thank you!
Me: Yup bring me Nelson. I'm ready to play
Him: Still beats me
Me: I did something wrong-
Who's Nelson?
The first time I played Nelson I figured I had to handle his queen as soon as possible, so I immediately went for a Queen trade (within 4 moves I think). It worked out and I ended up winning! I still can’t beat Sven but hey
Everytime I attack his queen with my knight he just ignores it. After that I win. Everytime. I find him easier than Nelson. I hope that helps you defeat my Slav bro. I troll him now by playing bongcloud against him. Tutorial: if sven plays the french against you (you BETTER be playing white), you play the magnificent bongcloud against him. He will bring his queen out, so you have to first defend everything, then attack his queen.
@@mrbeats3067 he blunders his queen tho
bro i destroy sven but cant ever beat nelson
Sven blunders his Queen on purpose I feel.
I also like hearing the inside logic of discovering checkmate vs just assuming your opponent always saw it making it seem impossible to ever get to that level.

Levy, please read this:
My chess experience is almost entirely online. When I look at the screen I see the coordination of pieces, which square I control, files, diagonals... etc.
But when I play otb all I see is random pieces and I cannot really concentrate.
This subject doesn't exist in internet. Please help!
Practice.
you mean irl board? just practice or buy a better chessboard with better pieces.
some chessmen out there are made out of cheap plastic that makes kings and queens hard to distinguish so yeah just find a good chessboard.
this problem also happens in irl shogi, irl go and irl backgammon so dont worry its not just you. just practice and stare at the board.
I had the same problem, just play more irl and change your pieces set online, small thing but really helps.
Buy a real board, and play 15 or 30 minute online games but make all the moves on the board so you can learn to recognize the same patterns, and even if you have no one to play irl chess with this still works
I have the opposite problem lol
Me when i fight nelson: *scandinavian defense*
I really appreciate this video. As a beginning player concentrating on openings, I have been scrambled by aggressive queen attacks that leave me looking like swiss cheese.
u could stop early queen attack by playing g6 or e6 (e6 French stops scholars mate because Bc4 then d5)
Levy don’t hurt me don’t hurt me no more.
What is chess!?
21:07 en passant declined, as a crappy 1000 rated player I just can't handle it.
With a point: you want your free pawn to be as far away as possible from the opponent's king... here you just push the other pawns.
This is what i’m currently messing around with in my Chess Club at school. Everybody is kind of average at the game and the moment there is even a bit of pressure they collapse.
Very true, at under 800, you get so many players using Early Queen attacks. Rage quitting when they blunder the Queen is very common
The scholars mate is forever a lesson for me to never be conceited even when the opponent sucks
When you're 1000 Elo and a random dude used scholar mate
Me: Hmmm tastes like disrespect
Relatable
21:35 just make sure it's not stalemate, they're going to check me. *Immediately double isolates their pawns*
You are an outstanding teacher! Thank you and keep up the good work
