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):
Wiede vs Alphonse Goetz, 1880

I mean, I have been playing Shatranj for 3 years (almost every day) and I can tell you some of the lines suggested in this video are debatable (or even wrong). Most noticeable: if you lose a Horse the game is over, you can resign; while if you lose an Elephant you can still largely achieve a draw.
