What game? If you're talking about chess, the fastest win is indeed 2 moves by White and 2 by Black. That's 2 moves the way most chess players count, but 4 moves at Little Golem, to be consistant with other games.

White's moves are g4 and either f3 or f4, in either order. Black's moves are either e6 or e5, followed by Qh4#. That posistion is known as Fool's Mate. There's another, not quite as quick finale, known as Scholar's Mate.

The only other game on LG in which it is possible to win in 4 moves is 4ir.
