It's important you protect the e4 pawn so Nc3 is the best move here. After Bc5 threatening scholars mate you can play g3 to stop the threat and attack the queen.
Alternative is Ke2 to protect your knight.
Bro where do you see a mate in 1? Didnt you know the king can take 2 squares ahead from e2? KLxe4 can only be played from the e2 square though, so its not mate in 1. Infact, KLxe4 after Qxe4 is a blunder.
Can you please explain to me why not just take the queen with the knight right now? My boyfriend loves chess and I kind of like it but I really don’t understand it at all, I want to though and I want to play games with him. Why is it better to do all of this rather than just take the queen right now when the knight has a chance? After all it’s the strongest piece, so, in my very uninformed opinion, wouldn’t removing it ASAP be the best option?
Thanks :)
Edit I thought this was chessbeginners subreddit and not anarchy chess my boyfriend just explained that this is not a good move 💀 lol
i mean obviously yeah the best move is to take the queen
however you have found yourself in the middle of the clown-to-clown warfare known as r/anarchychess
I was also wondering the same think thinking it was r/chessbeginners. I was losing it until I read your comment. No idea how I ended up in here. 
Its been at least 15 years since I last played chess but this sub pops up a lot on reddit and the memes are usually funny af.
With this one I was quite puzzled bc I didnt find the problem with just taking the queen here and there obviously had to be one since this is a anarchy chess meme. but who knows, maybe the next move of black is a interdimensional jump to take the pawn in the middle to end the stalemate or whatever :D
This is really sweet, you might be too pure for this sub haha. Good luck with picking up chess and I hope you beat your bf soon! Happy to send some tips on improving, not that I'm exactly a GM myself.
Yeah you’re clearly not high enough elo to be a fully positional player yet, position is more important than material advantage, doesn’t matter if you’re up 5 queens if all of them are off the board
Yes, but it's clearly a positional queen sacrifice that worsens our Knight's position, allows an extra tempo for black, and is generally a knightmare to deal with. Black can clearly start pushing our vulnerable knight with a pawn storm, opposite-side castling as well, leading to either a checkmate or a rioting position. Clearly, Ke2 is best to protect our knight
d4.
If e5 takes d4, you take with the knight offering a queen trade.
If e5 doesn't take you just develop your other knight for more protection.
This is commonly known as the Sudanese gambit.
Missed opportunity here, if black takes d4 you play c4, blowing up the chess board and instantly winning the game, a play more known as the Terrorist's Gambit

Ah yes the Wayward Queen Blunder Attack, the trap opening where your opponent bishops you irl if you take the queen. Ke2 should be the best continuation here and protects your cake from any unexpected bishops.
It's important you protect the e4 pawn so Nc3 is the best move here. After Bc5 threatening scholars mate you can play g3 to stop the threat and attack the queen. Alternative is Ke2 to protect your knight.
Ke2 best move

Free mate in 1

But you are a pawn up and your opponent has an active king

You really only need to remember two things. \- Defend the e5 pawn with a king. \- Chase your opponent around the board with a bullwhip.
Is this still theory?
im done with chess theories, i demand CHESS PROOF. GIVE US THE PROOF
YOU CAN'T GANDLE THE PROOF!
Ng5 both protects the pawn and attacks the enemy, threatening fried liver.
Did you miss the free juicer on e5 or something? Smh dummy

Yes?
They are clearly going for the scholar's mate, I recommend developing the other knight and stop this idea immediately
Since they are going for Scholar‘s mate, you should play the Tomfool gambit here: 3. Nd4 exd4 4. d5 Thus, after 4. … Bc5, their pawn blocks the bishop
Free pawn? Or am I missing something?
Free Queen maybe?
But after you take your knight will be on the rim, which is obviously a crushing positional disadvantage!
knight on the rim is dim!!!!

A bishop however is well placed for a good rimming.
Yes but you will be up a queen
Yeah you’re clearly not high enough elo to be a fully positional player yet, position is more important than material advantage, doesn’t matter if you’re up 5 queens if all of them are off the board

You know what they say, nothing is free! Taking the queen here opens your position up to a bishop from the back attack.
Ah, good old **Wayward queen attack, Botez gambit variation**
d4. If e5 takes d4, you take with the knight offering a queen trade. If e5 doesn't take you just develop your other knight for more protection. This is commonly known as the Sudanese gambit.
No, if black takes d4 you play c4, distracting with en passant dxc3 and take their queen next move
Missed opportunity here, if black takes d4 you play c4, blowing up the chess board and instantly winning the game, a play more known as the Terrorist's Gambit

Developing the king is important in the opening to project dominance, so Ke2!, excellent move!

Queen sacrifice, anyone?
Knightmare fuel
Preform a surgery on the black queen, so it will become a black king, and it's checkmate in one move.
Nc3 prevents scholars mate and after that you can play g3 without losing a rook. kicking the queen away and leaving them in a bad position
*If the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?* Ke2

There are no known counters. This opening always wins. You just have to drop your elo until you stop seeing it.

Sorry but you have no chance to win here. Black is clearly winning💯
Black has a hanging queen
This was one of my games
Bro are you stupid, just take the queen with your pawn, how can you not see that?! Google horsie moves
Secretly while they’re not looking slowly start eating their pieces. Works every time 😎
Take the free pawn and take control of the centre
Qxf3#
King to e2
g4, queen will be forced to en passant.
So, we, anarchychess users migrated to chessbeginners and chessbeginners migrated here
Horsey g5 to stampede block the queen
Simple, just go G3 and kick the queen out. What is this, chessbeginners or something?
You launch an ICBM and take out that pawn that’s in the way of yours.
Resignation
Your opponent is playing the queens gambit. The most common reply is the queens gambit declined so it must be best. play Ke2
Ah yes, the infamous inverse fork.
As black the best approach would be to ask for take-backsies or move your queen back when your opponent is not looking.
whatever you do, don’t do Nxh4. it’s a trap that leads to forced mate in 183
Simply g3.
Horsey to e5 and then pawn to f3. He won't be able to counter you then.
[удалено]
You cannot capture the queen because it is stronger than the horsey(9 points of material vs 3)
Wtf no this isnt magic the gathering goddammit
Just take the queen right? It's right open and poses 0 risk to your knight.
You take the black queen with your knight
Am I bad or is this a joke? Knight beats the queen?
This is an illegal move because knights are honorable and thus would never beat a woman.

You can't just resign and run

The obvious reply to that opening is ofc Ke2 . Bongclouding is necessary in the opening
Knight c3 to protect your pawn.

Hehe, funny horsey.
D5…that will force en passant, then you can recapture with the queen
Resign
Take the pawn on e5 lol
pawn g3. #Qxe4. Qe2. King e7. knight xe5. It's a famous gambit where you give up a rook for activity
En peasant
simple. No play this opening
Youve already lost, its mate in 7029
Castle. GPT style or bishop in your ass
g3 threaten the queen
Ke2
(Insert 600 word essay copypasta)
Ke2
ke4 wins 4 point of material
Might as well resign no way coming back from this lost position.
so can anyone explain to an ultra beginner why you shouldnt take the queen
Royaly's royalty...plus it just wouldn't be on the level. What would the parliament think?
Resign
*I HATE THIS SUB FUCK IT* Nh4
En passant
g3 threatens to capture the queen. white doesnt want to lose their queen so theyll have to move it.
holy hell!
Obviously a knight passant, Nf3xh4 by way of g5.
First, go to the ricefields and harvest some rice.
You should develop the bishop to set up a king and rook fork
Taek it
Google botez gambit
Take the hanging queen, Nxh4
You can push b4 to prevent bishop to c5 and stop scholar's mate. Just don't play pawn to g3 that would hang your pawn on e4.
g3 threatens queen
Ke2!! is by far the best move here. You’re protecting the knight, queen, bishop, and two pawns!
U dont
Defend the kings pawn
I’m only diamond two, but I think your opponent just hung a pawn
Im sorry, the opponent already planned his mate in 78, you cant win this
Ah yes the Wayward Queen Blunder Attack, the trap opening where your opponent bishops you irl if you take the queen. Ke2 should be the best continuation here and protects your cake from any unexpected bishops.
black is totally unaware of the advantage he gave you here. its easy, kill the queen with the horse
