I have a question:
aren't these mates always made possible by serieous flaws in the other one's game?
although it does require some mistakes to be made, it is amazing how many games have been posted where 1500-1700 players have made the same mistakes as us lowly 1300-1400 players.

Originally posted by malingaI gave the position to Crafty, and the answer appears to be not enough. After 12. Bxh7+ Crafty rates the position at -1.79. White is about to lose a bishop but has two pawns. Without light square control I think it's hard to play f4 and connect the kingside pawns and if there was a forced checkmate after 12. Bxh7 Crafty would have found it. Even ignoring the material addition after 12. Bxf7+ white is worse because the e pawn can't be protected without drastically compromising the white king. 12. Bf4 leaves white with an advantage (+0.69 at 14 ply according to Crafty). Having said all that 12. Bxh7+ did win the game.
sorry, but what did you have if he captured Kxh7. i see nothing past a check and a lost bishop...

As has been said here before to checkmate in under 20 will normally involved a mistake. This game though involved a mistake by the winning player which actually won the game!

from Fried Liver Tournament. 7 moves played on top of themed 6 moves still qualifies I reckon.

Bringing out your queen that early is risky, but you pulled it off pretty well. 🙂
