Is this called Chess Suicide?


No comments. Also, one of the best games played by Black. (Average Centipawn Loss: 4)

Background Information: Igor Schneider (White) is an FM, and Loek Van Wely (Black) is a GM.
Is this how FMs play?
If this was a serious game then this Maybe fixing white may have been given money to lose if it was not serious then it was not serious you could do anything.
Generally, Lichess imported games are serious. Maybe White was drunk!
It's called thinking that since your king is the most important it must be the most powerful so you advance it forward
It's correspondence chess. Maybe white was hoping that black would also play along and go for the infamous draw that occurs in this line.
@nooboss , It was the final, so maybe there was a match between these two players. FM may have lost the match already, so he had some fun. Or he was drunk like Kholmov. And even in a blitz game a FM should not play like this.
