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 never have one of them but win this easily is good

Actually he is right... It seems the sac needs to be premeditated and the "greatness" would have came had black also seen the sac thereby never castling. But anyone may have seen the sac in the given position and he is still a douche.

The post was intended as a compliment to your opponent, not an insult or dig on you.
( I love watching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it's an art form, similar to real chess)

Don't take the loss too hard, I've been getting beat alot lately in my Clan games by lower ranking players. Oh well....

Didn't take it at all as a dig. He worked me over. I didn't play well, he played flawlessly. Usually, against someone in the 1700s, I can at least last a few moves more. Never beat anyone over 1650, but he absolutely destroyed me. It was quite impressive, really, and he deserved to be complimented. I don't mind losing at this game. And I especially don't mind losing when someone plays like that.

Edit: Just re-read your post. Look at his graph and where he should be rated.

actually it's "checkmate in under 20 moves", so you could add a comment how the surely won positions will turn into a forced checkmates below the required number.

No offence meant and congratulations on such neat games.

Mate in under ten with a little help from my opponent. Nothing good about it apart from the result, I admit. But it does cheer me up after so many hard struggles.

that could be said for a majority of posts in here. very few are "quality" games but it is good for us rubbish players to get an idea of what NOT to do in the opening lol
