Has anybody actually played the fool's mate in a game?

No, because I think at my rating no one will do what white did.

I once allowed it as Black n a blitz game against a fellow Chess.com user (who was also a fellow local player). This is made possible after I rushed a few moves and momentarily forgot about the possibility of Fools' Mate.

Unfortunately for him, he also rushed his move. After he made his move, both of us realised what had transpired - it was very awkward.

That game eventually continued for many more turns, but I ended up losing the game anyway.
