Subject: Re: Ice age chess - checkmate timing

Justaminute: It shouldn't be too difficult to construct a game where black gives mate from a distance on move 20.

White moves axb3, bxc3, Na3-c4, Ba3, Qb1. Black moves axb6, Ra6-a5-a4xa3xa1. Then both make random moves on the kingside, and on move 20 Black plays Rxb1 with possible mate.

happy to play it but I can't make or accept invites until I get below 50 games.
