He Took the FREE Queen... Then Lost in 2 Moves 😱 #shorts
He saw a free queen and took it. Big mistake. 😈
White gives away the queen on purpose, and just 2 moves later the black king is checkmated by 3 small pieces.
This trap is called Legal's Mate. It is named after Sire de Légal, a French chess master from the 1750s, and it still catches players today.
Can you spot the mate in 3 before the end? Comment your answer 👇
