[Round "?"]
[White "johnnygold"]
[Black "Wulebgr"]
[Result "0-1"]

1. Nc3 d5 2. f3 e5 3. g4 Qh4# 0-1

Of course, I immediately added my opponent to my no play list.

I played a really interesting game recently (can't find the PGN right now) that went:

1. f4
1...e5
2.fxe5
2...d6
3.exd6
3...Bxd6
4.Nf3
4...g5
5.h3
5...Bg3#

Does anyone know the official name for this checkmate position?
