I've got a five move checkmate. It's game # 712738. I forgot how to link that. Can anyone remind me?

Here are a couple against the same person:Game 402970 and Game 402971, and my personal favourite, although I see Ragnorak has me beaten by 2 moves: Game 249641

I'm sure some of you out there have some embarrassing ones where I lost in <15 moves to post!

I didn't have many options to be honest. 😉

Here's a game where I got unmercifully whipped in 17 moves. Game 695647 Probably the most enjoyable ass kicking I've taken. In my defence, this game was played in 1 day, a day in which I was very hungover, but even so, I don't think I played atrociously. I think my main error was bringing out the queen to nab the pawn, and it was all downhill from there, until my last fatal blunder. Excellent example of why bringing out your queen early can lead to a chasing.

A trap that every Smith Morra player has fallen for at least once, I think (myself included) Game 522138

That defeat certainly was something. Your opponent only had to move one pawn and two minor pieces off their opening squares.
