I think this is a wrong statement... THe two move checkmate is the shortest game in history... i even know some people who resign after thier first move, SO THIS IS FAKE! ;)

I think @dragon27 got this wrong, this isn't fake. This game is played between two grandmasters, and it is the fastest checkmate between grandmasters, of course, no grandmaster would get mated in two moves.

What about this?

What happens if the pawn captures the Knight?

Avatar of frogscanplaychess

White resigned because it was either lose the queen or the game because if white took knight then black plays queen h4 and it is then white blocks with pawn and black takes pawn checkmate

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.

Personally, I think the quickest game is g4 e5 f3 Qh4# but I get the point.

I'm sure there are shorter GM games in the final round of a tournament that clinches good prize money for both. Games such as 1 e4 e5 draw.

I am guessing they were focusing on the shortest decisive game.
