Well Vortex delivered an even more impressive mate, this one in 27 moves against ChessV.

While it was only 1 move sooner than the mate in 28 against SMIRF, it was a whole different class of mate. The mate vs. SMIRF was a "middlegame mate" -- which means SMIRF played the opening fine and a great tactic was demonstrated by Vortex.

Against ChessV, it sacrificed a Knight right out of the opening, and just about everything seemed forced flowing from that tactic. As I have said before, even "diehard" chess players will find these games interesting.
