I just send Frederic the next "correct" solution.

1. e4 Nf6 2. Qg4 Nxe4 3. Qxg7 Ng3 4. Qg4 f6 5. Qh5+ Nxh1++

It ends with "fifth move with knight takes rook mate". (it's not
mate after white's 5'th move because the black N can take white's Q)

It's correct when we play fast-chess at our club, we don't care what
the rest of the world has for chessrules :-)
