Uhhh...didn't mean to irritate you gents. It was in the same vein as "Checkmate in 20 moves or less." I thought it would be interesting to see other such games...didn't mean to ruin your day.

I know I've seen this one before, is this Morphy's mate, or something like that?

How about:

1. Ra6 bxa6 ( 1...Be5 2. Rxa7# ) 2. b7#

1. Ra2 Be5 2. Rxa7#

are these correct? I haven't had coffee yet and am doing this blind...🙄

Yes its from morphy, the first one is correct but im not sure about the second. Since Ra2 can be met by a6.

Chess doesn't get more pretty then that.
