That was me choping and changing without correcting the text.
(blame Russ, the letters kept fallen down, it put me off.)
Originally I had this in.

Which is indeed a mate in four. But I was thinking you had seen
too many Scholars Mates so pulled it for a Fool's Mate.
The are nearly two dozen Scholars type Mate with both colours including this.

Black sets the Blackburne Shilling Trap. It fails.

Originally posted by no1marauderI hope you don't mind, but this is a beautiful example worthy of posting. Newer players can learn from this:

Hang on a minute.
Marauder No1 is buying and actually reading his chess books.
Why does he not just simply buy them and leave them unread like the rest.
I've checked TOS. Nothing.
This buying and studying chess books should be against TOS.
99% of the other players on here think it is against TOS.

I'll have to have a word with MadKnight. (I wonder if he is any relation to MadRook?)
Not quite a Bxh7+ Classical Whammo. But White made a right meal out of it.
MadKnight - fubsy RHP Ch. 2012
and in Frostbite99 - MadKnight RHP Ch. 2012.
Here Black played 27...fxg2+ White resigned 6 moves later.
There may be a better move.

And yeah, people who actually read their chess books have an unfair advantage.
Originally posted by no1marauderReally nice.But what if black returns the piece with 15.... Be4?Pawn down but is that resignable?

Determined to break the habits of a lifetime and actually read it, with a chess set out n everything. Problem is, I don't have a chess set. Suppose I could do the jail thing and whittle a set out of an old chair.
Or just buy one.

I'm thinking that neither player noticed ...Be4 because the point of the move is a backward effect on the h7 square. White is still clearly better, but I bet black would have played on if he had noticed.
On the other hand, he may have just decided that a difficult defense a pawn down wasn't worth the effort, and cut his losses.
EDIT: It is entirely possible that black was also familiar with the theme, and beat himself up emotionally so much that he "believed" the attack and did not rationally look for the best defense.
Sometimes a player can "know too much", and make a judgment on a familiar position without noticing a salient feature that changes the evaluation. In this case, I think that describes a few of us, and it's a reminder to sometimes step back and question the "obvious", as sometimes the obvious is only part of the story.
Originally posted by Paul LeggettActually in the Art of Attack Vladimir Vukovic shows this defensive theme many times in the classic bishop sacrifice section.
