Wins In Under 20 Moves

My opponent hammers me in just 15 moves in this friendly:

Game 957183

Just finished: Game 908240. This mistake in 8th move, black lose a bishop, is well-known in theory and hapens from time to time. 🙂

Here's an interesting game I found while surfing...Game 872045

Here we go:
A nice Kings Gambit 😀

Game 903699


Take care,
Mordred

About very short games, the next was played at a tournament in Yugoslavia, around 1970. Both oponents were masters.

1. g4 d5 2. g5 e5 3. c4 dc4 4. Na3 Bxa3 5.ba3 Qd4. White resign. After 6. Rb1 Qe4 both white rooks are under attack! 😀

This game is not in chessbase.com, but there are 17 games wiith first two moves 1. g4 d5 2. g5 e5. 😕 Here is a mate in 9:

Two games illustrating what a bad idea it is for black to move the f7 pawn in a Kings Gambit game.

Huge blunder on my part. Game over in just 4 moves.

You know, you learn traps and rarely get to use them. This was the Wilkes-Barr counter gambit. It didn't go by the book, but notheless proved devestating.

Sorry, didn't know how to use the game link.
Game 734669

A nice Queen's Gambit Accepted game with a rook sacrafice.

Game 836562

Another game in under 20 moves.....just. Its my first.Game 970121
how does one defend against a queen attack. people do it to me often

10 Bxd7 followed by 11.b3 or Rb1 would've kept black's queen out if that's what you were wondering...
