    🙂

    It's OK Duchess I got this one covered.

    I've only ever seen Fool's Mate once in a serious OTB game.
    It was played between two men in a League match in 1994.

    The Shortest Olympiad loss again comes from the men.

    I've been using a similar trick to this for years, yet still managed to fall for it just a couple of days ago in a blitz game. :'(

    HI M.

    I spent all afternoon yesterday (Wednesday) 5 min blitzing with IM Mark Condie.
    I won a few, I lost a few more.

    He can slip into the speech play, (part of the OTB blitz fun) he has played blitz
    with Tal and Spassky......I've blitzed with a few GM's in my time but I can't
    top those two so I lost that battle as well.

    Had a few awful losses with net Blitz and the Latvian, but some nice wins.
    (those I remember and sometimes even post....the losses...they just never happened.)

    That's very similar to the cheap trap (2. ... c6) in the Trompowsky.
