What's the worst game of chess ever played? Well it's probably this one, played by me (what a surprise) as white.
A bit of context: this summer, a friend of mine played a couple games while he was drunk and in a game he had an accuracy of 21%. So I set myself the objective of beating his result by gaining a lower accuracy. Initially I struggled with the task because I couldn't get below 40%, but yesterday, while browsing r/AnarchyChess, I saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/mv83eh/speedrun_to_zero_elo_it_starts_getting_really/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 . The strategy used by u/cyrusthelin was just brilliant: go f3, g4, Na3, Nb1. Now I only had to find a worthy opponent who wouldn't see mate in one, for this reason I played bullet and lowered my rating (jokes apart I'm really bad at bullet) and after some attempts I found the perfect opponent, who always keeps the opportunity to deliver checkmate in one, but never does. And that's pretty much how I played the worst game of chess ever, btw it ended in a draw by threefold repetition.
In order to prove that isn't fake, I'm putting the links of all the other games the led to this game:
Here are some older bullet games in which I was trying to get a really low accuracy:

PS: for those wondering, I'm 1800 rapid here on chess.com and 2175 rapid on lichess.
Edit: some of my opponents have registered some time ago, a couple even some years ago
Have a nice day!
