Games that end with 5. Qe4#

[Brian Stewart]

There's only one game that ends with 5. Qxe4#, and it starts with 1. d4 e5 2. Qd3 Ke7 3. Bg5+ Ke6 4. Be7 e4. Now, how many games end with 5. Qe4#? The above game, with 4...exd4 would work. Any others?

Here's a related contribution from our old friend Sam Loyd: White plays 1.f3, 2.Kf2, 3.Kg3,
4.Kh4 no matter what Black does, and after 4.Kh4 Black checkmates! Find Black's moves...

All moves are legal. Answer to come later...

1.c4 f6 2.c5 Kf7 3.Qc2 Ke6 4.Nc3 Ke5 5.Qe4#

Same as above but substitute 4.Nc3 with 4.f3
