a quick Fischer Random checkmate

Winning this club server-based correspondence Fischer Random Chess (often called 960 Chess these days) game yesterday made me smile.

The position of pieces on the board at game's end is posted above and shows my White Queen checkmating the Black King as my tenth move of the game.

Our move record up to this point is: 1. c4 g6 2. f3 Qg7 3. Rc3 Ne6 4. Bf2 c5 5. Bg3+ Bc7 6. Bxc7+ Nxc7 7. a4 a5 8.Qxc5 b6 9. Qf2 f5 10. Qxb6# 1-0

Our assigned starting order of pieces here was FEN “rkrbbnqn/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RKRBBNQN w CAca”
which gave us the following board to start with:

And the adventure continues.
