A Couple of Quick Wins

Last night I decided to play a couple of games at ICC. It just so happened that both of my opponents had the exact same rating! I beat both of them in under 20 moves each. In the first game I was actually planning to throw the game in order to get my rating under 1500 because I wanted to play in the under 1500 section this month at ICC. However, when my opponent dropped his Queen I just had to take it! Game over. That is the only time that I have ever played the White side of a Center Counter Gambit. In the second one I played an English opening and my opponent dropped a Rook for a Bishop. A few moves later he resigned. I am not posting either game to my chess site, just here. Here are the games in PGN.
