Chess win in two moves? My wife is mine! (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
fools mate
'two moves? my wife is mine' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'chess win' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chess win' could be 'mate' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'mate' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'fools' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fools mate that I've seen before include "Quickest end to chess game" , "Easy chess win" , "Simple win at chess" .)
