Just played a drawn game in 12 moves against mghrn55.

Game 8762898




Given that there is a thread on fast checkmates, are there other examples of drawn games in under 15/20 moves?

Don't even think about a thread of 15 move draws. 🙁

and here...


Instead of 10...Nf6? what about 10....0-0-0!


There is still loads of chess in there.

^^ that's what i thought ^^

I looked through my games, quite a few draws after 20 odd moves but only one that i consider forced after 24 moves.

Hi Trev, the opening of that game reminds me of this classic.

I think that was a classic case of playing the person, not the board. I was wary of my opponent, and was happy with a drawn outcome in a clan challenge, so I didn't look past the immediate danger to my Bishop and Knight.
Oh well, live and learn...

Am I missing something or is 17. Qxe6+ perfectly winning?

You appear to be correct Range Blaster

This is fun. Two out of the three posted games still have tricks in them.
Maybe we should do a thread on 15 move draws. 😉

The more I look at this game the more it makes my teeth hurt. 🙁

Here's my version of this. Its a well-known Scotch variation. White was a fairly strong player and it looked other black variations were risky, so I chickened out
