Speed run: Top Ten Fastest Checkmates!
You can find the previous top ten fastest checkmates here:
ruclips.net/video/qlU3D_NcYd4/видео.html
Each entry on this list is the oldest documented example of a game with the given move count that I have managed to find that I did not cover in the previous top ten fastest checkmates.
If you can find any games older than these, please let me know as I love mating really fast.
There are no known images of most of the players in this list, so I will be using historically accurate and respectful stand-ins for them.
10th place (14 moves):

      There were not making silly moves In fact Al suli moves are very accurate and good in relative to this chess type You might see the, silly because you are forgetting the fact that rules were different. It is worth noting that Arabs and mulsims in geenral were very strong players of chess and the first to develop rules of endgames middlegame , openings , this open in this video was called Torrent oppening . Europeans learned these things from spainsh monks then spread and changed the rules because they had grudges toward anything islamic which was common phenomena even in science . So chill out and do not flag yourself this is disgraceful.

      @@ChessMess Pure coincidence tbh. I was more looking at the chess side (was curious the best way to cheaply win and found this video independently through search), but I am psychic like that and yeah... come to think about it, it's freaky I stumbled upon this video around the exact date of 5th November... MIND BLOWN (but not really cause it happens to me all the time). But I'm glad you got to witness this synchronicity, meaning something changed within my future timeline... or maybe I was Guy Fawkes in a previous life? Didn't even know you guys celebrated a day after him until looking him up after initially watching this video. I find that weird since he represents Anonymous and anti-establishment, but to me he seems like a bit of a failure and got ratted out, then brutally tortured and executed, kinda feel sorry for the guy, and personally don't see so much reason for his idolization. I would've preferred he succeeded in his plans and blew those aristocrats, the king/queen, everybody to hell. His chess openings speak to the fact he was against the grain. I too have gotten mated a couple of times like that using the Barnes. Perhaps why I find this video so amusing. I can imagine it happening at the time, with the whole crowd erupting in laughter and mockery. I'm sure he was popular with his comrades.
