shortest game with Bc2d3

It is the shortest, but not unique.

Obviously not unique. Black has numerous alternatives for tempo moves.

Fastest game that ends with cxb8=N# but the knight is not the checking piece.

I wonder if anyone can find the shortest game without checks.

Here is a dubious one. The knight is not the checking piece but a checking piece (double checkwink)
