Carlsen mates Bill Gates in 79 seconds (9 moves)!!! Gates, Bill - Carlsen, Magnus (0-1) London, Blitz - 2 min vs 30 sec, 2014.01.22 1. e4 Nc6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Bd3{This move isnt totally without merit, but its low frequency - with a total of zero grandmasters having played it - is not a shock.} Nf6 4. exd5 Qxd5{Surprisingly, according to our database this position had been reached twice before - in 2006 and 2011.} 5. Nc3 Qh5 6. O-O Bg4 7. h3 Ne5?!{Of course, Lets Check heavily favours White after the bishop sacrifice. But the strain of a lightning pace for someone who probably doesnt play much took its toll.} 8. hxg4 Nfxg4 9. Nxe5??{White lets mate slip in the pursuit of further material gains.} Qh2# 0-1
