An 1880 met the Stafford gambit.
On move 7 he took my queen.
Three ply later, on move 8, I mated him.
You got to love those trappy gambits.

Judging by their facial expressions, it are no happy feelings that go through there minds when they get mated out of the blue within 10 moves.
I remember the stunned expression on the face of the enemy when he went mate on move 7. :D
Here a post that I already posted in the thread "Opening traps are killers", but it illustrates the point so nicely, that I'll repeat it here:
"So today on my rest day I played some over the board games. In six games I only blundered once, or that is the most that I and my opponent noticed. That resulted in a sudden mate, but that was the only one of 6 games that I lost, so it was 5-1 for me.
That's the way I like it.
I played the same guy I played a few weeks ago, a serious chess player, active on Lichess, and he practices tactics on Chess.com.
He doesn't do opening traps, because, he says, you end up in bad positions when the opponent doesn't fall for your traps.
Fortunately, I was able to impress upon him the importance of studying opening traps, even when you don't want to play them yourself. Then you still need the knowledge in order to prevent yourself from falling into the traps of the opponent.
i drove that point home in the first game, where I was black. He started with white to play an Italian opening, and I used the opportunity to release upon him a Blackburn-Shilling trap.
He swallowed the poisoned pawn, hook, line, and sinker.
I did my thing, my thing being queen g5, after which he forked my queen and castle by smacking his horse in on f7.
And that is the worst line for the opponent there is.
It resulted in the totally unexpected smothered mate on move 7.
With a stunned expression on his face he said: “That was fast….”
Chess is a cruel game. https://tinyurl.com/Nigel-kill
It was an over the board game, but here is an old Lichess game which went exactly the same: https://lichess.org/oGkbGfME/black#14
Opening traps are killers"
I'll never get tired of those baffled faces when I tell them "Mate!" on move 7 or 9. And in a rare case, on move 5. :D
They are shocked!

Thanks Ken for sharing that golden oldie with us. I love miniatures! They are SÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓ funny! :))))))))) Great to see how you are going for the jugular on move 3!

It is just that a mate in 4 doesn't fit under the heading: "Sudden death on move 8". Maybe next time post them under "Miniatures are the best". Or, if you have a lot of 'm, we can make a new thread: "Sudden death on move 4" or something like that. That'

I took that one from the library many times. Fascinating book.
Is that the book in which there was an article on Elijah Willams?
EW was a famously slow player, and the author hypothesized that this was due to the fact that he was "inventing" hypermodernism decades before it's time.
Of course Williams was a great player, but this article was an example of what we might call Staunton Derangement
Syndrome. These "hypermodern" systems (some still in use today) were played by, and largely invented by, Staunton, years before Williams arrived on the scene.
But as Staunton is seen as a great villain, sufferers from SDS (even so great a player as Fine) cannot imagine that he did anything worthwhile. I don't recall the actual author of this article, might be Chernev, Reinfeld, or neither.
