Are there any other chess players here on AG? If so, how long have you been playing and how good would you say you are now?

I found a way to win in 4 moves (at least against beginners most of the time):

1. Move the pawn in front of the king forward.

2. Right side bishop to C4.

3. Queen to F3 or H5

4. Queen or bishop to F7

4. Queen or bishop to F7

Won't that make you right next to the King assuming you just hit the pawn there? Then can't the King just hit you? Or did I mess up with a step?

If you move the queen to F7, the bishop on C4 is protecting it so the king cannot capture it.

I've used that strategy before on many different opponents, but it's very easy to defend against and it only works if your opponent refrains from moving certain pieces.

Personally I'm quite partial to the Wayward Queen Attack.

Obviously there just isn't a great enough demand for an AG chess game, or else one would have been released by now.

You'll have to talk to a developer.

to be honest, i would play an online chess game, given that you could gain XP and level up when you win, to unlock cool boards and pieces and stuff.

isn't that a good idea?

4. Queen or bishop to F7

No. A begginer would just move his middle pawn forward in his first move, it is THE first move a begginer usually learns to make. This movement forward with the pawn gives the king movement space, removing the ability for the BISHOP to checkmate. It must be the queen.
