chess and tennis; fastest checkmate

Lauren here!
Here is another interesting thing about chess and tennis.
As you probably know, it is very important to control the center in chess.
In tennis, it is the same thing-always try to control the center.
If you watch professional tennis, the players always run back to the center of the court after they hit ball. Why?
They have more coverage of the court. This is the same in chess.
I want to congratulate Novak Djokovic for winning the men's 2008 Australian Open yesterday.

Barbara here!

Good afternoon. What's the fastest checkmate in chess? Can Scholar's mate be the fastest?
I'll answer tomorrow.
