The Fastest Checkmate in Chess History: A Remarkable Display of Tactical Brilliance

The shortest recorded chess game is known as the "Scholar's Mate." It involves a checkmate being delivered to the opponent in just four moves. The moves are as follows:
1.e4 e5
2.Qh5 Nc6
3.Bc4 Nf6
4.Qxf7#
In this sequence, White's queen delivers a checkmate on f7, effectively ending the game. The Scholar's Mate is a common trap that inexperienced players may fall into, but it serves as a valuable lesson in early game tactics and the importance of protecting key squares.
