I think thats the point...
The point of what?
Proof Game in 4 moves
Sort:
Caveatcanis, you are correct. Here's another PG:
1. e4 c6 2. Qh5 Qa5 3. Qxa5 d5 4. Qxd5 cxd5
Correct. Next PG:
Matthew_Alexander, you are correct. yourChess, what PG are you responding to? Next PG:
Correct. That's all the PGs for today!
Of course, yourChess thinks this thread is about games with 4 moves, period, so he posts a Scholar's Mate. Not only it's in 3.5 moves, it's not unique either.
Dang, I should practice making proof games. This one looks too easy, but let's see.

PG in 4.0
PG in 4.0
Okay, this one was done by Andrew Buchanan, 2004. But apparently I just rediscovered it recently without prior knowledge that this has been done.
By the way, here is a page full of 4.0 PGs, all having units on their starting squares except for a few that are missing.

So, a non-homebase PG.

Whoops, didn't see Frankwho's. Working on it now...
Answer in white:
1. e4 Nf6 2. Qf3 Nxe4 3. Qf6 Nxf6 4. Kd1 Ng8
Frankwho's (#59):
By the way, any reason why they are only 4.0 moves? I'm pretty sure there are lots of interesting things that can be put into, say, 7.0 moves, making them hard without being too terribly confusing like some 25+ moves PGs.
Please make your notation clearer. 2. Qd3 is illegal, and 3. Qxd7 is illegal.
I think thats the point...
