@fastercamels Only in the first couple of moves I’d say. The longer the game goes the stronger the good player gets. I can’t ever see them leaving mate in 1 unless it’s an opening error or pre-move in an online game.
@GothamChess My 9y/o beat a 1360 in the pub today. He’s been playing for 6months. You deserve credit for the popularity of the game with kids. We watch you every day in our house. Much love.
