Hi all,

A while back there was a checkmate in under 20 thread, so why not have one in under 10 moves.

Because if there is a win in under 10 moves, someone seriously messed up.

No one says that sub-10 games are good games.

6....fxe5 or Nxh6 - then What??

Your attack Fails and you simply look stupid for dropping a piece against a lower rated player (400pts)

No, he wouldn't look stupid at all.
(Why?)
He wouldn't have shown the game in that case.

When your'e at it - did I make any blunder during my sub-10 game?

I didn't really see any obvoius flaws with your game - the Knight sac won material, so, i don't have any qualms with it.

Yeah, look at the dude's rating who was checkmated. I wouldn't have taken that bishop. Nah, there's a way to hold off the mate. THat dude ... all he did was push pawns. Any normal player who developed his pieces properly and remotely knows a small bit of opening theory would know that a mate like that takes blunders by the alleged victim to be complete.
