I just checkmated my cousin in this game in 8 moves - I checkmated a random player @ chess.com 1-2 years ago in just a few moves too, who used this same "bird" opening. He (the random player) said he'd been practicing that opening. (I was the black pieces).

Me and your cousin think alike. LOL!

I was about 11 years old and my dad asked me to show him how to play. So, as I went through moves and presented him with the options of moves he could make...I Check Mated myself. He never played another game...said it was too complicated.

He just got me in 3! I told him it's funnier when I do it.

Here's a 16 move CM - he & I always seem to have 3-6 games going on (2 days per move per game). I'm black again:
