Here 's an equally short international post-chess game I played a couple years ago. In the post-mortem, my opponent (who is playing white) explained that he could have held-on much longer , but prefered to save the cost of the air-mail stamps!! 1) e4 - e5 2) f4 - exf4 3) Nf3- Be7 4) Bc4- Bh4+ 5) g3 - f4xg3 6) Bxf7+ - Kf8! and white resigned!! Note that any black move other than the mentioned move (Kf8) leads to a rather quick black debacle!
