I can't believe RHP has now got the directory of "THE FOOL'S MATE" .
Did White do that on purpose or did Black tell him to do it ?

This was pretty much a forced resignation, a checkmate on move 10 would have been certain. Game 1399373

Another factor is that it is very difficult for this position to be achieved in a real game. How did black's pawn disappear? 😕

At first I thought it was impossible but this is not the case. Would have to make an unusual set of moves though. An example:

1. g4 e5 2. Nf3 Bf7 3. Nxe5 Bf8 4. Nf3 Bf7 5. Ng1 Bf8 6. f4 Qh4#
