| Sneaky: This site on the subject of "Chess Records" claims that this is the "shortest decisive game ever played in a serious tournament." (Not including forfeits, etc.) http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/records... |

| ruylopez900: at least it wasn't mate, just some player disgusted he had missed that.... |

| RisingChamp: This game was repeated between two spaniosh IMs Vassalo and Gamundi.Of course this game and countless variations of it have graced various internet servers :). |

| azaris: Trom-POW-ski Attack, eh? Must have been a patzer venturing too far with an opening he wasn't familiar with. Even I know that c6 by Black is a prelude to playing Qa5+, so the alarm bells should have gone off immediately. |

| rochade18: Nearly ANY other move would have been better (only Kd2 and Bh6 seem to be bad as well) |

| soberknight: This is Item Number 1 to support Dan Heisman's advice to always examine the consequences of checks, captures and threats. For white, the game ended before it had begun. |

| catfriend: <rochade18> You have also Na3..
Honestly, though, in a blitz, f.e., couldn't anyone here do something similar? How about 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nd4 4.Nxd4 cd 5.d3?? A very natural move to make, if you remember the Bird variation of Spanish, but losing a piece after 5..Qa5+ |

| Averageguy: All beginners are taught to look for forks and tactics. But when one becomes more experienced, he sometimes doesn't bother to look, especially in the opening. This is probably what happened here. |

| Eggman: <<This site on the subject of "Chess Records" claims that this is the "shortest decisive game ever played in a serious tournament." (Not including forfeits, etc.)>> Actually, wouldn't the record have to belong to Fischer vs Panno, 1970? |

| Chopin: White just played carelessly. |

| RookFile: White must have thought that 2....c6 was a prelude to the ....Qb6 lines, i.e. where white plays Nbd2 and gambits the b2 pawn. However, there was a slight tactical drawback. |

| technical draw: If I were playing white I would have just calmly move my Bishop to d2. Black might argue or he might think he made some mistake. It's worth a try anyway. I actually did this once in a game. I moved a bishop that had been captured! I palmed the captured piece and casually moved it from c1 to g5. The game went on with my opponent none the wiser. I couldn't finish the game cause after a few moves I burst out laughing! |

| piroflip: I remember reading once of a player castling (when he had aleady lost the relevant Rook) by using a captured Rook from the game going on next to him. It was a serious tournament game and his opponent never noticed. |

| pacorrum: <technical draw> A shame you weren`t able to hold back a bit longer and save that game for inmortality! |

| Fusilli: 2...c5 is a much more common move than 2...c6. My guess is that White "guessed" that Black had played 2...c5 after seeing Black touch the c pawn and didn't even look at it. |
