Shortest Reversi game on boards 7x7 and larger

After only 9 half-turns the shortest game ends 13:0. On an 8x8 or larger board neither player reaches the edge of the board. There are actually many different games that end 13:0. There are even more that end 0:14 for player 2. But there are none that are shorter.

Here is one 13:0 game that I played in KReversi.
