Link to season one: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/fun-with-chess/challenge-fastest-move-count-to-beat-me-in-rapid-chess-105166979

The winner from season One was @joshforthewin with 19 moves.

RULES FOR SEASON TWO:
I am a 500 elo rapid player. Your goal is to try and beat me in chess, in as few moves as possible!

Anyone can attempt this - but you only have two attempts per season.

One attempt is two 10+0 rapid games, with you selecting which game to use. I'll then put the game in the forum, along with updated standings. I will not resign, even if it is dead lost.

If you would like a warm-up game prior to the real attempt, you can ask for one. This will be one 3+2 blitz game.

The games (rapid and blitz warm-up if asked for) are unrated.

Season two will end on June 15, 2026, with Season Three starting on June 17, 2026.

Quick question, will you always play until checkmate, or if you are really dead lost (down like 15 points) will you resign?

In my rules I said "Anyone can attempt this". There is no 'under elo' - I changed the rule from Season one because I used to have a 1300 elo floor and 1000s that would 100% have easily won were complaining because the floor of 1300 was too high. It's your idea if you want to risk it if ou around my skill level.
