Game 3597120
White's move #8. That's 15 half-moves.
I have a few embarassing losses on Yahoo chess in which I was mated in about a dozen moves.

Nice game.
I particularly liked White's Nd5, tempting the pawn to capture it.
He didn't have to capture it though and I wonder how the game would have progressed if he hadn't.

This was a resignation but the mate was already clear, nevertheless...

Ok I know there is currently a post running for wins in under 20 moves but the water gets bit murky when the win was through resignation or timeout. I dont think these should count unless the mate can be forced in under 20. (I know there may be some who disagree with this but should it really count just cause my opponent went on holiday for a fortnight on move t ...[text shortened]... ?

Here's my best Game 766306 move ten.

[edit: bit of line spacing looks better lol]

Game 3214542

It's a Bc4 Sicilian!
Nicely put away but the cure is 2...e6. Game 3772018
I hope the O.P doesn't get inspired to continue playing that way against the Sicilian because of that win. He'll soon come unstuck if he does.

2.d4 is much more sound for white 😀

Just order your games by moves.

It makes it easier to spot all the 6 and 7 game mates 🙂
