indeed. Let him without sin cast the first stone, or whatever it was Jesus said.

1500 moves in three days is about 20 moves an hour (assuming no time is taken off to sleep/eat/poop/watch big brother/go to church).

The lord indeed moves in mysterious ways.

Yes, that's the one! I've edited my post now so that I don't look like a buffoon.

By the way, I learnt an important lesson this evening. Never Google a chess player's name without checking that it isn't rude first. Thanks very much Mr Clive Straddle (User 422492).

Oh Lordy, I tried not to, but I succumbed. I'm off to join the foreign legion.

That was only one bad move. In some of games of this thread there were series of patzer-like moves.

Ok, agreed, but you got to admit, it was quite bad for such a strong player to miss such a move. 🙂
