Here is one of the game I played and got checkmate ...when i only played 6 moves (which is under 20 moves)...I know you may think the other guy was an idiot (and i do agree) but it was still a pretty good win...especially talking about the sacrifice of my knight....He never understood what my plan was...what a fool LOL !!!!
