My opponent fell for the Scholar's Mate??

I just can't believe that my opponent fell for the scholar's mate. Believe me, all 1600 rated players should be knowing the Scholar's Mate by now, but my opponent, somehow just didn't see the checkmate coming. What do you think of it, guys?


(NB- While solving the chess captcha I realized that it was the very same game I played!)

Many factors cause players play like this: tired, sleepy, thinking something else, hungry, thirsty, etc.

@gravija , That means if the player was thinking about something else, then that player was obviously not paying attention to the game. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

You missed one: drunk!

Happens to the best of us

@ShiningDrongo , Right........

Its 3 minute chess. Once every 200-300 games my opponents also get checkmated right on move 4 and im playing 2100 blitz rating level. My usual rating is 2050-2150. At 1600 level if you regularily play it, it should work every 30 or 50 games i believe.
