Game 3169215
6 moves..yes, I know It's boring but I think that the 90% of chekmates under 10 moves aren't so much wonderful mates

Originally posted by orfeoconsidering the level of opponent, I'd go with 4. Ne5 threatening fool's mate (ahh, a gem I have yet to accomplish against an opponent in my life) and if he catches it, there's the knight trade you can fall back on... weakening his pawn structure...

Game 670482
Back when I was still new to the site, I had just learned about how to set up a "set piece" game, and so I made several gag games with a mate in one as the preset position. It always gave me a good laugh to see how many people would accept the games without looking at the starting position... Lol.
For example:
Game 3057795
Edit -- On a more surprising note, I have actually had a real, legitimate game where someone played into the Fool's Mate. Whether it was intentional, I'll never know, but it was a shock.
