Yes. Sorry. I make that kind of error all the time when I type games from memory, instead of pasting them from my database.

Fastest checkmate I've ever had on this site is 5 half moves: Game 1174896

In theory, as has been stated earlier in the thread, black can mate 1 move earlier if the colours are reversed but I've never seen it happen.

Just glad to be of help Rag.

If anyone else wants some lessons, feel free to ask. Former pupils include Akizy, Weyerstrass and David Tebb. I charge £50 an hour.

You were rather slacking on Rag's tuition then. 😉
