CHECKMATE in under 10 moves...

10 moves and my opponent was graded over 1900.

Game 3332441

OK. I admit resignation in 10 mate in 11 but its close enough and not against a patzer.

never seen a 1900 patzer

Game 3250524 he's a patzer though.

Game 3046435 Missed en passant

Interesting mate, but won't happen very often.

Game 3369757

Nothing special, just another illustration of how a 1600+ can make a terrible mistake, too.

After reading about some of the great wins in under 20 moves in another thread, I thought that is might be worth having a thread dedicated to those even earlier mates. This could be a valuable thread for learning as it could point to flawed openings and less well known traps in the opening.

I'll start the ball rolling with game that demonstrated the dangers of playing the Damiano Defence as Black.

Game 2919000

Okay, I know that this doesn't fit this thread since it is on the 11th move I get mate but it is the ever elusive mate using just one knight with no support.

Game 2901630

Mate in 11 vs. 1700+; a real fluke. Dragon Fire's beats this.

Game 2613492

Even though it is a thematic Fried Liver Attack, even with the complete opening it would have been under 10 moves:

Nice one - shame I can't edit the title to say Mate in 11 though....

I face that "trap" all the time in blitz .... all you do is take the bishop later on, or let them move it--- costing tempo.



*EDit -- just noticed that in most of my bltiz games its a knight not a bishop on g4, which IMO, is less sound than Bg4

Game 3404782

Technically eleven.
