Greco vs Anon - Top 10 fastest checkmates in history! #1

Welcome to the top ten fastest checkmates!

For the full list, find the original video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlU3D_NcYd4

Each entry on this list is the oldest documented example of a game with the
given move count that I have managed to find.
If you can find any games older than these, please let me know as I love mating really fast.

There are no known images of most of the players in this list, so I will be using historically accurate and respectful stand-ins for them.

1st place (4 moves):
Greco vs Anonymous, 1620s (The Fooles Mate)
1.f3 e6 2.g4 Qh4#
