Martin vs Martin

I'm sure I'm not the first to try this, but I played two simultaneous games against Martin, one as white and one as black, and copied the moves between the games, thereby emulating Martin vs Martin.

A few years ago I wrote a Python script using python-chess to list all legal moves in a given position, and select one of them at random and play it. No calculations whatsoever, not even looking for M1. I made it so it played itself. Unfortunately I no longer have that script. Otherwise I'd post some of the resulting massacres. That one was worse than Martin, but not by a lot. Martin at least sees M1, but honestly I think that's as far as he can calculate. And other than his allergy to wood, which makes it difficult for him to play chess in real life, he must be suffering from wandering king disorder. I wonder if there's a medication for that.
