Isnt a game that ends with 0 or 1 move being played (opponent refusing to appear to make a move)technically a shorter game?
For example, Fischer vs Spassky - game 2 or Kramnik vs Topalov, game 5.
Note the "from 1968" part

Yeah, but it isn't like check mate in a few moves.

- because if he takes the queen wins it
the shortest game was 1 move, and that was bobby fischer and oscar panno in 1970

why did white resign??
Because he either had to lose his queen or open up his king
He also could have killed the horse with his pawn smh
No because if the pawn took, the queen will checkmate the king.

I think this is a wrong statement... THe two move checkmate is the shortest game in history... i even know some people who resign after thier first move, SO THIS IS FAKE! ;)
the shortest game in history is really when someone never showed up to the board or simply resigned after one move and an example of this was when oscar panno resigned on move 1 against fischer in the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal tournament held in 1970

This is wrong. The move is 4... Ne3!! , not 4. ... Nxf2?
The move is 4. …Ne3!!
actual shortest game of chess: White moves. The black side player resigns because he/she forgets to lock his/her house door. Game over.

Even shorter: 1 c4 1:0 black resigns Fischer - Panno, Palma de Mallorca interzonal 1970.
Fischer fetched Panno when he did not appear. Panno did come to the board and did resign.
I don't know if this counts as the shortest game for a world record. It counts as a forfeit. Forfeits are scored differently than losses. They affect tournament standings, but not rating (at least with USCF)
