Cheat detection? Couldn't Joe Smoe at chess simply have a Master play for him? How would they detect cheating then?

@morethantwentycharac's comment was simply a joke. This game was obviously staged. (and, being unrated, there's nothing wrong with that)

Do you mean cheating is okay in unrated games?
Ethically, no, not if your opponent expects you to play yourself, but I don't think the site cares if you do. People can use unrated games to try different things like human/engine vs engine and practice / coaching games.

Engine use is permitted in unrated games if both players agree, but that's obviously not what was happening here.

Do you enjoy movies or magic tricks even though you know they're not real?
It's just for fun.

This actually proves that a 600-rated player could beat Carlsen. In bullet, anyway.
It proves nothing, and you know it.

I expected this to be a troll thread. All I found was some kind of joke.
You, sir, have trolled me with this nice clickbait.

h6 was played in 0.1 seconds. 1 minute chess, probably a pre-move - oops I didn't expect him to play 5 Qb3...
I don't doubt h6 at all. However, I do doubt 4: ...Rg8. In bullet, this makes no sense. 4: ...Kf8 is a sensible mouseslip and would make the game believable. But ANY bullet player would premove (or at least prepare with his mouse) O-O.
It would only be a roughly 1800-point upset. Very rare, but not impossible.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present you with a 2300 point upset:
