An opening "mate in two moves" is only possible for Black. It is called Fool's Mate and requires White to open illogically on his King side to allow an unblockable attack. For White to win, it requires three moves, including similarly bad moves for Black. The gambit "From's Gambit" is a trap that requires a terrible third move by White.

  1. f3 e5
  2. g4 Qh4 mate
