Not mate under 20, but a nice queen trap in the Vienna Game on the 13th move. I felt it belonged in this thread (as it is a decisive, game-winning advantage in under 20 moves).
Game 1666337
The nice thing about the Vienna Gambit is that White has the means to punish severely even the smallest tactical inaccuracy by Black.

ALSO: nice play lukemcmullan, im sure it would have been over soon anyway with a clear file and a full head of troops 😀 ill let it slide that it wasnt actually mated 😉

Another Vienna Game! Mate in 20. He had to give up the queen for knight to avoid mate. He moved the queen instead of 18...Nd7.
Game 1660563
Enjoy!
