This is a rough translation from a norwegian Guinness book of Records, from 1968:
The shortest game ever registered between two grand masters, was in four moves. Lazard defeated Gibaud in a chess cafè in Paris in 1924.
In my hand I have a copy of "1000 short games of Chess" by IRVING CHERNEV
Published in 1955 Simon & Schuster New York, N. Y.
The very first game is listed as shown . . .
= = = =
This is the short game ever played between MASTERS in tournament competition.
It ends in a knockout in four moves . . .
Paris, 1924
GIBAUD. WHITE. LAZARD. BLACK
1 P-Q4. KT-KB3
2. KT-Q2. P-K4
3 Px P. KT-KT5
4. P-KR3 KT-K6
Instead of retreating the Knight hurls himself into the enemy camp with an attack on the Queen.
White resigns , as capturing the Knight would be answered by 5 . . . Q-R5ch, forcing mate.

Chernev wrote on March 13, 1954 when he wrote the book . . .
"It is my hope that they will give you the pleasure they have given me."
I purchased this book from Thrifty books on line . . .
In the years that this game was played there was no internet or computers.
I tried contacting to correct the game but it was not possible.
(this is Scholars mate)
Who got traped by this?
