fool's mate
fool's mate n. (also fools' mate) Chess a form of checkmate, given on Black's second move by the queen on h4, after the advance of the g-pawn (to g4) and the f-pawn on White's first two moves; also in figurative contexts.Fool's mate is occasionally also used (particularly by non-chess players) to denote the form of checkmate given in four moves, normally called scholar's mate n. (see scholar n. Compounds 3). Unlike scholar's mate, fool's mate almost never occurs in real games, but it is notable and very familiar to chess players as the shortest possible decisive chess game.
