LOL
I have offered this same challange to chessforums.org
This Challange will also be issued here, and do bear in mind that this is not a request for help, this is a chess puzzle.

Hello, and welcome to the Internet Chessmaster Challenge.
I am Sir Yin, Knight of the Inter-tubes, and I propose a ranked chess challenge.
Due to my "INTERNET ANONYMITY", the idea that one could possibly attain a rank of "real world" legitimate value, is quite arguably impossible. Whatever, let us "roll with it", shall we?
The Challenge is as follows:
1: You will be given a picture of a game that was paused when the players, we'll call them Yin and Yang, both came to the conclusion that the game was lost.
2: You must answer, then, who won the game.
How you answer will determine your "Super Awesome Internet Pseudo-Rank".
Level One, aka, The "Cool Story, Bro." Award.
Answering: Who won, Yin or Yang.
Level Two, aka, The "Not Necessarily The Worst, At Chess Anyways." Award.
Answering: Who won, by how many moves, within the range of 1-2 moves error.
Level Three, aka, The "I see what you did there..." Award.
Answering: Who won, by how moves moves exactly, written in algebraic notation.
Level Four, aka, "Ok, Now I'm Startled and Impressed" Award
Answering: Who won, by how many moves ahead, written in algebraic notation, that matches ours.
-Do note that we have non-Photoshopped pictorial proof of our written down notation, placed conveniently next to the board on which this very match took place, no less than five minutes ago. So if you can match how WE played vs you thought the game might have been played as, you win on the grounds that you somehow got into our heads and figured it out too. You will be presented with the evidence upon request, but only if you've attained level Three Rank.
Level Five, aka, You are now an "Internet Chess Master"
Answering: Upon receiving Level Four Rank, are then able to examine the
"Pictorial Evidence" and answer why we chose to call the game, "The Stoner's Folly Gambit".
Do Note: You cannot attain this Rank without receiving the Pictorial Evidence, of which is rewarded only through attaining a Level Four Rank.
God Tier Ranks:
"The First God": Examining the picture, and being able to decipher how the whole game was played, and knowing how many moves were made preceding the pictures.
"The Second God": Afterwards, answering where you think the mistake(s) was made, and why.
"The Atomsk Title": If by answering, in a logical fashion mind you, where, why, and how the it relates to the gambits title, you are now "The Pirate King" Of the Internet Chess World.
Enjoy.
The First Picture:
-Do note: the red bottle cap is technically a pawn, not that it really matters, right?And also, it's white's move.
