Dear
Chess-Poster people,
Would you please explain one "Anonymous" Emailers suggestion
that the following 2 moves would
be the shortest possible game, won by Black:
1. g4 e5
2. f3 Qh4++
I just don't get it. In your reply you did agree that it was the shortest
possible Checkmate. I refer to your Webpage:
http://www.chess-poster.com/english/mail/mail_2003/shortest_game_ever.htm
But, at game start, there are no Chessman in Rank&File "g4".
So which pieces are being moved? I am a novice so, would you
be so kind
as to comment on the foregoing moves using plain language,
and how this Checkmate would occur.
Thank you so much for your time.

Dear viewer,
Pawns have a slightly different form of notation than minor
pieces (Bishops/Knights) and major pieces (Queen/Rooks).
You wrote: "at game start, there are no Chessman in Rank&File
g4".
Pawns movements are annotated only to the square they landed on
or moved to. So, "g4" means that the white Pawn on "g2" moved to
"g4" and "e5" shows black Pawn on "e7" moving to "e5". It will
never be annotated as "Pg4" or "g2-g4" for white and "Pe5" or
"e7-e5" for black. This is the rule and is followed by
everybody.
