And I thought I had the fastest with 21 moves

So we have seen mate in 5 with promoting to Rook (or Queen), and mate in 5 promoting to Bishop (post 20).

Who can get the following in the fewest moves?

??.?8=N# or ??...?1=N#

That is promotion to Knight with mate!

This is a trap in the Albin Countergambit.
Black under promotes to a knight on his seventh move

And if the king moves back to e1 then qh4+ i assume? Otherwise not sure what the advantage is?

yes black is in a better position

Fastest pawn checkmate (4 moves and i dont think its possible for white)
