What is the shortest game you've ever played?

Interesting question!

My shortest tournament win against an A-player: Layton - Melbourne 1976: .e4 c6 2.d3 d5 3.Nd2 dxe4 4.dxe4 Nf6 5.Ngf3 Bg4 6.h3 Bh5 7.e5 Nd5 8.e6 fxe6 9.g4 Bf7 10.Ne5 Bg8 11.c4 Nb6 12.Bd3 N8d7 13.Ndf3 Qc7 14.Bf4 O-O-O 15.Qe2 Nxe5 16.Bxe5 Qd7 17.O-O-O Qe8 18.Qe3 Bf7 19.a4 {Black Resigns}
Shortest tournament win against a master [Marty Applebury] was 34 moves of pure chaos. I don't think either of us knew what was going on until the last few moves.
Once I played a blindfold game where ilegal moves meant a loss. It went 1.e4 c4.
Just Kidding, This is actually mine(The fastest one yet :D):
There is a two move game in the chess database that ends with checkmate.
The moves are: 1.f4 e6 g4 Qh4#
