Answers.Text: With a careful move order you can save a whole move pair, also, that one can be turned into a s#3 with a move added again (and s#4 is also easy). I leave you pondering ;-)

  <p>Clearly, the one shown there with Qxh5+ Rxh5# can be easily turned into a s#2, by e.g. B-e2-f3, Qe2 from White and c6, Q-a5xd2-d1 from Black. 9.0 moves if I added correctly. Someone care to beat this, or even construct a helpgame-s#3? (This might be <em>far</em> trickier than a <a href="https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/36788/the-fastest-dualed-mates-in-n">#n</a> counterpart!)</p>
  <p>Addendum: This example doesn't work as the Black queen vacates d8 for the Black king.</p>
