Saemich beats Capablanca with the great master making a seemingly obvious mistake. As it turns out, Capa's girlfriend was seating nearby when his wife showed up unexpectedly. He moved quickly, then greeted his wife but hung a piece.
When I was like 8 and playing in a childrens tournament a game next to me went: 1 e4 e5 2 Qh5 and at that point the kid playing White asked his opponent: ''Does your king also have a sticker on the bottom?'' So the unsuspecting opponent grabbed his king and looked. ''No.'' ''You now touched the king, thus you must move it!'' the kid screamed triumphantly. The other kid was in shock and soon the arbiter was called to the scene. The arbiter laughed at the situation and let the game continue without having the kid playing Black having to move his king.
Moral of the story: Apparently only White kings have a sticker.
