Thanks for replying first of all!

By strikes I mean a move by either player that captures a game piece. Let's say
we're playing and you make a move (don't know if that's the correct term),
meaning you move one of your pieces, let's say, the bishop. Now it's my turn,
and I capture (strike) your bishop. Now it's gone. You, in return, capture one
of MY pieces and so forth. We capture each other's pieces until the LAST STRIKE
results in checkmate for you or me. Well, I need a chessgame that finishes in 8
(EIGHT) consecutive captures.
If you have an idea, please mail me at
gr8movie@aol.com.

That would be great!
Markus
