Fischer vs Panno, Sousse Interzonal 1970
1. c4 Black resigns.
I was going to say it.
The reason why it happened, is that Oscar Panno worked very hard and very long for that game, when Fischer ALWAYS played 1.e4.
So, as Fischer surprizingly played 1.c4!!, Panno stared at the board in disbelief and disgust, then resigned...
Not true.
Here is how Larry Evans (who was present at the playing hall) described the incident:
Essentially, it was a protest by Panno. Games normally started at 4:00 PM, but Fischer and Reshevsky had a special dispensation to begin games played on Saturday at 7:00 for religious reasons.
Panno did not feel this was fair; especially in the final round, with qualifying spots for the Candidates matches still up for grabs, he felt all games should start at the same time.
Hence he didn't show up at the board. Fischer plays 1.c4 and actually went to find him, not wanting to win on forfeit. Panno eventually came to the board, but only to officially resign.
why would he resign
I think its probably mine.Maybe not.Here’s the funny story
I was heading to my old group chat where my classmates chat each other talking about some things.I challenged all of them in a chess match.My most smartest classmate agreed.But instead of going to their houses and play a game of chess,we play the chess correspondently.Playing chess correspondently is just like the daily chess in chess.com.I told them that I will play white and they play black.They agreed as usual.I started with the respond “1.)e4”.My Opponent automatically resigned for these reasons:
1.)They don’t know how to read chess notations
2.)They don’t know how to respond to it.Even if they know,they’ll struggle.This is because they are often comfortable when their opponent plays d4 or Nc3 while e4 leads to sharp openings
I took the win,but not really.And still,this is the shortest game I have ever played

Garry Kasparov had a game zero moves short
Which one was that? Could you post it here? Or post a link to the news..
Did you know that Garry Kasparov didn't play a 1+ move game to get his World Champion title? I think his opponent never arrived, or just resigned from the start

We don't know this of course, because it never happened.

This is not a record for the shortest game ever. It is the record for the shortest game ever recorded between two grandmasters. And I'm sure the people you know who resign after one move are not GMs, therefore, no, this is not fake.

Actually, this is the shortest game played against 2 Grand masters, not random players 
No offence

...and that's why it's called the lazard gambit!

I swear to God I literally witnessed this game right around the turn of the century.
The guy playing Black is a complete and total jacka$$, and I no longer attend his club as there is a far better one now in Charlotte, but no joke, this game literally happened.
White was a player in the 1800s and Black continues to bang on his 2000 rating floor.

Guiness Records are full of pointless entries. Some are irksome: the longest fingernails etc. The record game here is also pointless. When a record is so easy to achieve, what 's the point ? A more meaningful example is the longest winning streak etc.
Longest shower, longest facetime call, longest hug....
