This is a demonstration aiming to checkmate SNES's Chessmaster set on hardest difficulty in the least amount of moves.

Various sharp openings that Chessmaster was willing to play were tried in a couple of attempts, with the shortest one shown here, mating in 12. The long thinking-time delays are sped up in this video.

This line is also reproducible on the hardest difficulty of NES's Chessmaster.
