no kill chech mate

[kristopherb]

hi i havent played in ages but i remember this move
pawn in front bishop(next to queen)
opps move
queen out (infront and in with knight should be(next to bishop next to king))
opps move
move queen (its hard to explain(thre idea is that the rook/bishop's pawn moves into "killing range"))
opps move to attempt to kill queen
move queen forward 1
opps move to attempt to kill queen
move queen forward 1
checkmate

i know this isnt fool proof
if anyone can please simplfie for other uses

Uhh...

I think what you're describing is 1. c4 a6 2. Qb3 a5 3. Qf3 a4 4. Qg4 h5 5. Qg5 f6 6. Qg6++.

Works if you have an incredibly stupid opponent. Doesn't work so well otherwise.

EDIT: This idea might surface in some versions of the King's Gambit or the Latvian counter-gambit (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5), but it's not something you should rely on.

Naturally, the fastest "no-kill checkmate" is the 2-move Fool's Mate: 1.f3, e6; 2.g4, Qh4 mate.
