The shortest game I know of at the master level was 3 moves.

It was a correspondence game (like our "turn-based" games, but with moves sent by postcards in U.S. mail).

White played 1. d4.

Black responded 1. ... g6, and added an "if" move (like our pre-moves) that said, "if any then 2. ... Bg7."

White responded 2. Bh6 Bg7 3. Bxg7, and Black resigned.

I fell victim to a Scholar's Mate last week. Mated in 5 moves. Very embarrassing.

My shortest game was today. 5 moves, nothing happened and then he resigned. Strange. He was new on this site but why accepting a challenge and then resigne after a couple of moves.Undecided

@ DavidForthoffer: LOL, I lke the story! Tongue out

My first game here - not only very short in moves, but also in time - 30 minutes all together!  I needed 30 mins here to improve my rating from 1200 to 1410 - maybe it's  a record? Laughing
