Win at Chess on Easy in 22 moves / 1min-30secs

[big red marino]

Here are 22 moves to go checkmate everytime on easy. You will also not lose a piece and you take 11 of the AI's pieces and put them in check 6 times on the way. Once you memorize the moves you should finish a game under 1min30secs. Additionally, I have added easy solutions on the three CHESS specific achivements.

Thanks SOY for the suggestion on how to present this. I did not want to do a graphic for each move, nor did I want to write it in the chess shorthand, as it can be tough for some people to decipher. So hopefully you can all decipher what I have done here.

You should just type it out like this....
1.Pawn D2 to D4
2.Bishop C1 to F4
....and so on.

what he means is that you can win in 5 moves on easy, to save time ive nicked "big red marinos" picture to help me explain hope you dnt mind mate.

5 move win on easy:
Pawn E2 -> E3
Queen D1 -> H5
Pawn E3 - E4 (computer should take the pawn you just moved)
Bishop F1 -> C4
Queen H5 -> F7 (Take pawn = checkmate)

hope this helps, my best time is 12 seconds :D

Oh man, thanks skitz79. 5 moves on easy is nice. It's a grind, but at least it's better than trying to legitimately beat it on hard however many times. the ai kept kicking my ass.

[big red marino]

No problem on nicking the photo. I knicked it myself from wiki. Never could get the computer to follow into the fools mate trap. I will double check.

[heinstach]

1. E2-E4
2. E4xD5
3. C2-C4
4. C4xD5

Here is a video I made of the Fool's Mate strategy (not that it needed one). Just felt like making a quick video.
