Really? Only once time in the entire history of the game? Who figured that out? I'm not trying to start trouble, I'm just very curious.

Thinking about it, that can't be the only time in the history of chess that move has been made. No way.

#10 you have to try so hard to do it on purpose, you can’t do it by accident because you have to underpromote 2 bishops and get the right setup

Well ok, I watched while Hikaru played the move...there was a video that Hikaru watched of a player that was searching for the rarest move. And he found that this type of move had never been played on lichess, it wasn´t in the database. It could have occurred here on chess.com or any website, but still it is a shocking sort of mate.
