I am sorry it is not under 20 but it is 21 moves exact!
Game 1423960
Looks like lbtwo could have held on for a move or two if had tried but he was screwed either way.

I didnt like how it ended up, although retreating the bishop (to clear the way for queen to give checkmate in two more moves, Qh3+ followed by Qh2 mate) all the way to b8 where it started looks really cool! 😀
It is the only game i didnt resign, because he insisted that the position is still EASILY(!!!) defendable 😏 . It was a matter of honor to me to show him that even Kasparov cannot defend that depressing position...
ps:I edited this 10 times, due to my spelling problem 🙂

Ok I know there is currently a post running for wins in under 20 moves but the water gets bit murky when the win was through resignation or timeout. I dont think these should count unless the mate can be forced in under 20. (I know there may be some who disagree with this but should it really count just cause my opponent went on holiday for a fortnight on move t ...[text shortened]... ?
Here's my best Game 766306 move ten.
[edit: bit of line spacing looks better lol]

We are simply taking the opportunity to view other players games where the checkmate was completed quicker than usual (i.e. in less than 20 moves).
My point was that a timeout in under 20 moves is not as impressive as a checkmate.

Sometimes the offer is just too tempting.
He must have been gutted to come back to a "you lose" instead of a "your move" message lol.

Originally posted by MCAI'll bet. he was a good sport though and gave me a congratulation in our other game. i figured id try to see if hed go for the fork(and not retake the bishop) after moving the bishop and he did, to his chagrin.

This would have been checkmate in under 20 if my opponent hadn't seen the inevitable at 16.
Game 1425894
More proof that you need to be very careful castling against me!

Originally posted by orfeoI astonised that a player rated 1292 would castle with such a weak kingside. He should have even known better than that. Afterwards, it was nothing but countless errors and exploitation. Good Job!
