I am sure that bot felt very humiliated. I believe that it quit chess after that and strangulated itself.

Your OTB game? From what year? Who was black?
It was an OTB game of mine, yes. From the middle 1970s. Maybe '76.
I can't recall who was Black. It was a casual game, not OTB tournament.

Question: After 3... e5, why did you not play dxe5? He would be unable to play dxe5 because of Qxd8+, Kxd8, and then any sort of developing move.

Qxd8+ and the loss of castling leads to no particular inconvenience for Black. There are no mating threats with the Queens already exchanged, and after Black's coming c7-c6 move his King will be perfectly safe on c7, and well placed for an end-game.
Black encounters more problems in the line actually played (Nf3 instead of dxe5).

Ok. Thank you for that. That helps. Also, what speed was this? Is this a rapid game?

Aside from a few daily games, I am exclusively a rapid player, so you'd be right to assume that.
On a different note, I had a game not too long ago where my king ran out to a5 (I was black) after an early queen exchange not unlike the one described in your previous comment. Obviously, that wasn't a smart idea, but it actually worked because even though I didn't play very well immediately afterward, my opponent was apparently flustered by the sheer audacity of what I'd just done because he couldn't seem to figure out how to form a winning attack. Because of this, I was surprisingly able to defend and trade down into a drawn endgame. Then, my opponent blundered again and turned it into a completely winning endgame for me.
I've had plenty utterly ridiculous wins before, but that one is definitely up there. I don't think I could ever get away with anything like that ever again if I tried.
I checkmated a 1200 elo Bot using the Aman Hambleton mating pattern!
