Sujet: Re: Massacre Chess: longest game.

WhisperzQ: The limit for the longest is obvious.
Not so for the shortest. Who can come up with the shortest game? (truly ended ones, of course. Don't bother with the timeouts-on-move-1, resigned or draw without reason)

Subsidiary theoretical question: who can come up with an initial position that can lead to a blocked game in the shortest possible number of moves? I have a trivial one that blocks after move 8, black.
