| whatthefat: Here's a challenge to any composers: create a symmetric game where <Black> wins. :) Only conditions are:
1) Black must mirror every move White makes unless forced to play another move, i.e., the winning blow. 2) White makes plausible moves. |

| whiteshark: Another game of an old story. |

| Colonel Mortimer: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Nc3 Black is forced to play another move - a winning blow that floors the White player. Punch drunk the White player crawls back to the table unable to cope with the simplifications that result.. |

| nuwanda:
the shortest game i know, that proves, that just copying may be not a good idea is 1.d4 d5 2.Qd3 Qd6 3.Qh3 Qh6 4.Qxc8

| Travis Bickle: By White moving first in this game shows the importance of tempi. |

| Oliphaunt: Like 7-8 years ago I played an informal game vs an amateur which went like this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4?! 4.Qe2 Nf6?? 5.Nc6+... then he got mad and walked away. Pretty amusing. |

| Aspirador: <whiterook48> 8...Bxb7 does not win for black, 8...Bxb2 is actually the right move. |

| JG27Pyth: I have this hunch Jan Samanek was a red headed 13 y.o. with a frog in one pocket and a slingshot in the other and a foolproof "theory" of how he could play anyone ANYONE to a draw at chess -- because -- ahhh, it's a clever trick, you'll see, just wait...! |

| Wade Keller: Would not 15...Kxf8 be a winning move for Black? |
|
| May-12-09 |
| ppeti84: After 16.Qh8+ it's not like a winning position for black |

| laskerdog: Personally I was amused. In fact I had a pretty good laugh |

| YetAnotherAmateur: There is a time when you want to ape your opponents moves, though: Play a simultaneous match against Kramnik and Kasparov (or any other pair of GMs). Give one of them white, the other black. Wait for whichever plays white to move. Then make that move on the other board, and wait for the other guy to move. Then play black's move on the first board, and so on. Guaranteed to place second. |

| playground player: In which we see that "Monkey see, monkey do" is not always the best policy--not when the White monkey goes first! |

| dumbgai: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Qh4 3. Qxh4 is even faster. |
|

| WhiteRook48: 15 Bh8 also does it |

| Skylark: I got a good "Baaaaahhhh!!!!" out of it. lol. |

| kevin86: A severe lennon involving a highly inferior procedure. To copy moves only increases white's advantage and eventually leads to a lethal move that CANNOT be repeated. |
|
| May-13-09 |
| WhiteRook48: other fast smothered mates are: 1. c4 c5 2. Qa4 Qa5 3. Qc6 Qc3 4 Qxc8#
Also 1. d4 d5 2. Qd3 Qd6 3. Qf5 Qf4 4. Qxc8# |
