Hi can anyone tell me what the fastest checkmate was in RHP?
I was done in 4 moves - and it was only my 4th game I played here 🙂

I just registered last night. Learned the moves a couple of weeks ago, and have been studying the game ever since. I've never played a single game of chess anywhere at anytime with anybody. If I gather the nerve to start a game here, I might end up on the wrong end of a new record for the shortest game.

Originally posted by marinakatombThanks for the advice. I started playing two games against a player with a rating of 1100. I have a material advantage in one of the games, but am not doing too well in the other game. Since I'm not getting killed, I'm getting over my case of nerves.

fool's mate is the fastest. it is for three moves. The opponet opens with their bishop and knight pawns while you open with you king's pawn and then move out the bishop. The opponet will be pinned in. It is shorter than the four move sholar's mate.

Originally posted by RagnorakI'm also surprised by my play in game 1022313. It's the first actual game I've ever played. I spent a long time contemplating each move and, at one point, caught a real break, discovering a series of moves that allowed me to win a rook. However, now I'm feeling lost in the game. I'm obviously ahead, but I feel disorganized. I don't have a feel for what I'm supposed to do next.

What is a blueshark? Is it somebody who pretends to be a new player, but isn't?
I've truly never played a game before, but I've spent many long hoursk over the past few weeks, studying chess, including playing through hundreds of member games, trying to guess the best next move. I wanted to get a feel for the game before actually playing.

My shortest mate was against an A player in just 9 moves! (although he's not an A player now).

Originally posted by RagnorakI second this thought. The chances of you playing like this after never playing before. And just recently started studying are astonomical.

Either you have played before or your name starts with an F and ends with a Z.
