I think this guy is joking, because of 1.g4 e5 2.f4 Qh4#
This is called fools mate and is the shortest possible mate in chess. 😀

Yes, and many times. Despite the advice here, he insists on starting with g4. Unsurprisingly, he fell for mate in two more than once. Is there even a point in trying to help this guy? It's clear he's not paying attention to us.

How about starting with f3, THEN playing g4?

Ah, the nuance of move order. And don't forget f4 rather than f3.

We shouldn't really encourage him. It's the same with toddlers - negative attentiion is better than no attention

The guy is doing it on purpose! It's a joke. At first I thought it was kind of humorous, but it no longer is funny.

By the way did anyone else notice the similiarity between his screen name and the screen name of a player who was banned at about the same time Nybble showed up?
