Weekly Challenge 40: Speed Demon
Win a game of Chess against Stockfish with a Byoyomi clock with the shortest time control. You can choose the number of Byoyomi periods, and number of seconds but your clock must have the initial 'Minutes per side' set to 0 (this will give 5 seconds of start time per player).
Adjudication Criteria:
1. Fewest number of seconds in each byoyomi period (you can choose in a range from 1-180)
2. Fewest number of byoyomi periods (you can choose anything from 1-5)
3. Level of Stockfish beaten (highest is better, options are from levels 1-8)
4. Fewest moves (plies)
5. Earliest Entry
Closing Date: Monday 15th January 1200 UTC+0
Additional Clarification:
- You must win your game by checkmate (winning by timeout is not valid, and shouldn't happen vs Stockfish, but it could)
- You cannot use takebacks
- The increment on the clock must be 0 (no '+' in your clock format)
- Your clock format will read something like '0|1' or '0|2 (4x)'. It must start '0|' to be eligible for this challenge

This is like so crazy difficult lol
Like most of our challenges its not difficult to get a valid entry. Here is mine:
Clock: 0|180 (5x)
Stockfish Level: 1

That is the easiest the challenge could be. If anyone changes any of the byoyomi clock settings, or beats a higher level of Stockfish they will beat me
Please remember to state your clock and Stockfish level when posting entries
Clock: 0|5 (1x)
