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...

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
