There are 2 main ways to checkmate in 3 to 10 moves.

1. "Fool's mate", called so because you'd have to be a fool to fall for it. Basically, if you are white, you move your e-pawn two spaces, and black replies with pushing his king side bishop pawn two spaces. You then move somthing else (doesn't really matter) and black moves his king side knight pawn two spaces. White then moves his/her queen to checkmate white. The order is not really important.

2. "Scholar's mate": White begins with the customary push of his/her king pawn two spaces, and black replies (in this example, let's say black mirrors white's move). White then moves his bishop so that it is attacking black's king side bishop pawn. Black then replies with something else, and White replies with moving his queen out to attack the same pawn. After black moves, white captures the pawn with his queen and that is checkmate.

3. Bribe the other player to let you win (takes only 1 move, but some cash)

4. Persuade the other player to resign (1 move)

5. Technically, if you are playing with a chess clock, if the other person does not move for the length of time allotted, they lose.

6. Two move checkmate with black: White moves the king side bishop pawn two spaces, black responds with moving his king pawn one or two spaces. White moves again, moving his king side knight pawn this time, two spaces. Black then moves his/her queen to acheive checkmate.

There are other ways to checkmate in less than 10 moves. However, these are the main ones, and the others depend heavily on what the individual players do.

Note: Unfortunately for those who know of it, and fortunately for those who don't, the "two move checkmate with black" hardly ever works. Even beginners rarely play that. That's simply luck.

Yeah there is the "scholars mate"(four moves) and the two move check mate which is only achievable with black. The scholars mate is well known and involved your bishop and a queen, where as the two move checkmate requires your opponent to be a big fool. Most beginner players will fall for the four move checkmate so I recommend this to a starting player against another starting player. Although it wont teach you much about chess, its usually good for a win or two. Best of luck with this!

You can win a game faster with Black than with White by these moves;

1.f3 e5 2.g4 Qh4 checkmate.

Games less than 25 moves are called miniatures, of which there are literally tens of thousand of game.

Even with games lasting 10 moves or less, there are hundreds, if not thousands of game to amuse oneself.

I have many games won in both the miniature and 10 moves or less. I also have many game played by other people who I have met at chess tournaments. I can send many of these games for free and for your amusement.

Just give me your email and a couple of days!

Yes. You can win in two moves if you are black, but the white player has to help a whole lot.

1. f3 e6 2. g4 Qh5# fools mate.

1.e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nc6 3.Qh5 Bc5 4. Qxf7# scholar's mate.

Many variation of these exist in the first ten moves.

i'm so sick of people asking this stupid ******* question. Any half assed player you won't beat them in ten moves, maybe by move ten, maybe u can get a better postion but thats if the other player doesn't know his opening theory or basic principles. PEOPLE STOP ASKING THIS QUESTION.

Yes. Such moves, however, are very well known, so the second player is able to avoid to be mated.
