Post any weird games you find but please only games of GM standard.

The game is very long however I think it's worth seeing.

One of the funniest games I've ever seen that ilustrates the "anti computer" strategy perfectly.

Well, I guess the most amazing thing about that game was that Nakamura made 270 moves in 3 minutes (that and the fact that I actually bothered to play through the first 50 moves...).

I think it's a bit more amazing that he managed to win against arguably the strongest chess playing entity in existence, and the way he did it is just as brilliant(sacrificing two exchanges to manipulate the computer into avoiding draws at all cost therefore making it play bad moves).

Not exactly GM level but move 61 is a real gem, weird and brilliant at the same time.

Ray - doesn't the promoted queen on a8 stop that? The g-pawn is pinned against the king, so black has no moves on #62.

61 makes no sense.

Answered by Sconsc. If 61 a8=Q then black plays 61...Qf7+, and after white plays 62 Qxf7 it is stalemate, the Q on a8 takes away the h8 square for the black king to move to.
