I saw a fastest stalemate in here so here is a game from me, almost a scholar mate.. I played 5. Qe2 first to prevent exf6 so he opened up the deadly diagonal

The 2nd fastest is the 4 move checkmate. White can checkmate in 3 moves with fools mate or scholar’s bongcloud, as I call it

The first one:
1. e4 f5
2. d4 g5
3. Qh5#

The 2nd one:
1. e4 e5
2. Qh5 Ke7
3. Qxe5#

2nd fastest is 4 move, 3rd is 5 move, 4th is 6 move, so that’s white’s 5th fastest checkmate.
