CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

Another Staunton Gambit. I can vaguely remember playing one of the Ledger brothers 25 or years ago. When he opened 1. f4 I bashed out 1. ... e5 and was completely crestfallen when he responded 2. e4. I can't remember anything else about the game, but I'm almost sure I lost. It's much more fun for Black when, like this game, it's apparent that White has never met the Staunton Gambit before.

The best way to win with a pawn mate.

Same opponent different game 🙂

How not to defend the Fried Liver attack.

when my bro did it on me to practice i checkmated him

Funny fork at the end, I had a choice between taking a rook for nothing or a queen for a knight, but instead played the mate.

Checkmate on move 12 in my rematch against @pizzano (rated 1813 before I checkmated him).

I'm white. There's a couple of notes in the pgn for you to enjoy.

Here's some entries from some recent tournaments and a ladder game

I had to look up this fishing pole trap. You are right, it looks much like it although with a bishop instead of a knight. It's the kind of moves that makes chess interesting. Without such shortcuts, we would all be stuck with boring piece development and positional fights, trying to convert small advantages in tempo or position to a win.
