"Have you been playing in the Women's Olympiad again ?"
🙂
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.

Originally posted by greenpawn34I'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.)
