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]
I had two back to back wins against the same opponent that were surprisingly fast. I wouldn't say these were forced mates as much as he wasn't watching what my knights were up to.

Pride comes before a fall.
Thinking I have successfully check mated my opponent on move 18 after allowing him to promote a pawn and sacrificing a rook, I thanked my opponent for game, mentioning that I was rather pleased to engineer a sac to mate!
Then after move 18 when my rating did not rise I began to feel a right fool.

lol, You still won though so all well in the end.

While it does not involve me this is a cracker though I doubt the losing 1900+ player thinks so
