The first one (given later in this post) was somewhat comical, so I didn't suspect at all I was playing against cheater. Alas, I was soon unpleasantly surprised. } 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 d5 3. Bxf6 exf6 4. e3 c5 { This is already a bit unhuman becase it leaves Black with an isolated d-pawn. } 5. dxc5 Bxc5 6. Nf3 O-O 7. c3 Nc6 8. Be2 Re8 9. O-O Bb6 10. Nbd2 Bc7 { The entire Bb6-Bc7 idea - before developing the light-squared bishop, is strange, but White still has a better pawn structure and should be fine. } 11. Nb3 { I remember I just wanted to place a knight on d4 and thought there is no way he would attack me. } 11... Qd6 { Now I started getting worried about Bg4, so I decided to stop it. } 12. h3 f5 { Of course! He goes on for an immediate attack. } (12... g5) 13. Re1 g5 { And now I realized his attack is incredibly strong. It is amazing how quickly you lose when playing against the engine. } 14. g3 { The only move, blocking the diagonal. } 14... g4 { This is also not the obvious move, but it includes a nice tactical idea. } 15. hxg4 fxg4 16. Nfd4 Rxe3 { The point. White can't recapture, so Black wins a pawn. } 17. Bf1 (17. fxe3 Qxg3+ { Leads to mate. }) 17... Rxe1 18. Qxe1 Ne5 19. Bg2 { At this point I was worried I am playing against an engine. But I wanted to see how he will go about converting his advantage. } 19... Bd7 { First engine move. } 20. Rd1 Nc4 { First engine move. } 21. Qe2 Re8 { First engine move. } 22. Qc2 h5 { First engine move. } 23. Nf5 Qf6 { First engine move. } 24. Nbd4 Re5 { First engine move. } 25. Nh4 Bb6 { First engine move. } 26. b3 Nd6 { First engine move. } 27. Qd3 Nf5 { First engine move. } 28. Nhxf5 Bxf5 { First engine move. } 29. Qd2 Bg6 { First engine move. } 30. Qf4 Qe7 { First engine move. } 31. Qd2 h4 { First engine move. } 32. gxh4 Qxh4 { As you can see, my opponent was very precise in his conversion so far. Should I even bother to say that this is the first engine move? } 33. Qf4 Qh5 { But this one, together with the next two moves (Qg5 and Re7!?!) really made me realize I am playing against the engine. They are both first computer moves and far from obvious. This game in general incorporates all signs of a cheater - crushing play, tactical alertness, perfect conversion. } 34. Qh2 Qg5 35. Qg3 Re7 { Who on Earth would play this move and why? } 36. f4 Qf5 37. Kh1 Bxd4 38. cxd4 Kg7 39. Re1 Rxe1+ 40. Qxe1 Qxf4 41. Bxd5 Qxd4 { I was so annoyed here I decided to resign and just report him. I think I even wrote "nice cheating" here as well. } 0-1
