Parr,

Stop spamming.

The (equal) shortest GM game on record was Karpov-Leko, Koop Tjuchem
Tournament (11), Groningen NED, 1995

1=2Ed4 (=3D)
=BD-=BD

Karpov resented having to play in the morning, so having made his first
move, he offered his lower-rated opponent a draw.

1=2Ed4 was known, briefly, as "The anti-morning variation".
