| | iron maiden: Sorry about that, I got the games mixed up. Tobor vs. Stamer, 1984 was the shortest decisive correspondence game. I don't believe Norlin vs. Guraj was correspondence. |

| | aazqua: What a ridiculous game. Either n-q2 or q*n allows white to fight on with a badly exposed king, but you would think in a correspondence game people could get through the opening without trouble. |
