Another one! Thank goodness Levy screamed “Crazy lines, like KNIGHT d7, blocking the check!” in the Chessly course video; I would’ve panicked there otherwise 😂

1. f3 e5 2. Kf2 Qf6 3. Kg3 Qxf3+ 4. Kh4 Be7#

WOW that was hard! For me, at least. Took me forever to consider putting the queen on f3 because WHO WOULD EVER DO THAT without knowing the king would continue to walk anyway?! 🤣

In this scenario, I can get white's 5th move to be checkmate, but I can't find faster! haha
