Thanks for that.  And you can play through Anand's six-move loss to Zapata here:
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018015

I found that game in this list:
"Human Sacrifices:  Here is a list of very quick defeats suffered by some of the
best players in the history of the game:
6 moves Zapata-Anand, Biel 1988, 1-0
8 moves Marshall-Chigorin, Monte Carlo 1902, 1-0
10 moves Oskam-Euwe, Amsterdam 1920 1-0
10 moves Lieb-Spassky, Munich 1979, 1-0
12 moves Christiansen-Karpov, Wijk an Zee 1993, 1-0
12 moves Zukertort-Anderssen, Berlin 1865, 1-0
12 moves Keres-Menke, Correspondence 1933, 0-1
12 moves Morphy-Maurian, Springhill 1855, 0-1
13 moves Capablanca-Kevitz, New York 1924 (simul), 0-1
13 moves Kotov-Petrosian, Moscow 1949, 1-0
13 moves Holzhausen-Tarrasch, Hamburg 1910 (simul) 1-0
14 moves Shoup-Marshall, Sioux City 1906 1-0
14 moves Caro-Emanuel Lasker, Berlin 1890 1-0
15 moves Yates-Rubinstein, Budapest 1926 1-0
18 moves Smyslov-Gligoric, Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade 1959 0-1
18 moves Calvo-Korchnoi, Havana 1966, 1-0
19 moves Deep Blue-Kasparov, New York 1997, 1-0"

The above list is from this page:

Sorry for straying off topic, but I am trying to soothe my battered ego.  At
least the list includes Deep Blue :)
