The Fool's Mate is often tried on newcomers to the game of chess.
White begins, and opens up his King to a fatal attack.
Black moves a pawn to give her Queen room to move out.
White moves the other pawn forward, leaving a clear line of attack on the King.
Black checkmates using her Queen.
It is rarely a good idea to move the pawns on f2, g2 and h2 so early in the game as the King normally castles on this side. If the pawns have been moved, they can no longer offer him adequate protection.
