First of all, there is only one novelty per game. I think you might be counting every move after the initial novelty, but that is incorrect.

Secondly, 1. Nf3 is not a novelty and is one of the most popular openings (behind 1. e4, 1. d4, and possibly 1. c4).

Thirdly, is this supposed to be (in some sick, perverted way) funny?

 

Lastly, you missed 11. Qxd2 Rb8 12. cxd8 followed by 13. ad8=Q

No need for criticism.  I do need to know how you entered your moves.  The computer police slept.

I counted every illegal move as a novelty.

This game was like watching one of the "...shreds" videos on youtube!

I thought it was cleverly written and executed. :) I'm surprised at the, ah, flexibility of the game viewer.

 

EDIT: I counted only 14 illegal moves, unless you count castling as two moves.
