NO! That's real skill by Bad Wolf to get offed like that in 16 moves. He must be really good.

The only thing we should all agree on is that your opponent should have a righer rating then you. I could crush a newb in 4 moves.Fools Mate

Here is one of the game I played and got checkmate ...when i only played 6 moves (which is under 20 moves)...I know you may think the other guy was an idiot (and i do agree) but it was still a pretty good win...especially talking about the sacrifice of my knight....He never understood what my plan was...what a fool LOL !!!!
