I usually punish it by throwing the chessboard at my opponent, but these are also great ideas.
-
“The key thing to remember is you need to be angry.” Loved that.
-
Very well dissected and explained. I like your advice to "be angry" because the opponent has tried this cheap trick. It's downright disrespectful!
-
My opponent: * Tries to scholar's mate* Me: "This, puts a smile on my face."
-
When I go to punish others I get punished
-
I typically summon Blue Eyes White Dragon and attack my opponent directly.
-
I think you might be one of my new favorite chess youtubers. This is my first of your videos, but I really love how you take the time to go through every line that someone might think of. If you say a line is bad, you stop to explain why it is bad. Also, something about the way you explain things feels very much like.. it helps me to conceptualize, rather than to memorize.
-
I just played a game against the scholar and I played it differently. I still punished him but I like your way better. I ended up winning in 20 moves
-
Great video! As a chess teacher for beginners, I always go for the most obvious attacks, like Scholar's Mate.
-
Great video! Perfect for someone learning chess with a low ranking. People try this all the time against me and I have lost. No more!
-
“Why you shouldn’t use scholar mate” is a better title.

This video is super helpful! It's so in depth, I really appreciate that you show so many variations and analyze them

Good video. Scholar's Mate is fun to defend. Usually a good indication that the person playing you is clueless.
-
Love a good punishing video! Thank you!

Excellent video. Have fallen victim many times in my early chess days. Hate cheap tricks and tactics like these, so really appreciate such vids. Thank you.
