But when I checked his profile, I saw he also used the tactic of losing casual games intentionally. When I saw he has some classical and rapid losses, I didn't bother to check them. } 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. Be3 a6 5. f3 b5 6. a4 b4 7. Nd5 a5 8. c3 c6 9. Nf4 Na6 10. g4 Qc7 11. Nd3 Nf6 12. e5 { This is just a horrible move. I am pretty sure my opponent was playing on his own up to this point. } 12... Nd5 13. Bd2 bxc3 14. bxc3 dxe5 15. dxe5 Bxe5 { I probably don't even need to grab this pawn, but a pawn is a pawn. } 16. Ne2 Bg7 17. Bg2 O-O 18. O-O Rd8 19. Qc2 Qa7+ 20. Kh1 Ne3 21. Bxe3 Qxe3 { At this point I was pretty sure my opponent wasn't cheating considering he just played like crap. But now he suddenly started finding some very good moves, while I started playing poorly. } 22. Nef4 Qa7 23. Rfd1 e5 { Very careless on my part } (23... Nc7 { with the idea of Nd5 or developing the bishop, was better. }) 24. Nxe5 { Missing his tactical idea. } 24... Rxd1+ 25. Qxd1 Bxe5 { Once again very bad. } (25... Qc7 { Would have still retained a winning position as Black takes on c3. }) 26. Qd8+ Kg7 27. Nh5+ { The point! Now he has perpetual. } 27... gxh5 28. Qg5+ Kf8 29. Qd8+ Kg7 30. Qg5+ Kf8 { Here I accepted it will be a draw. I thought there is something fishy, but that my opponent's combination is not the most difficult one to find. } 31. Qxe5 { Very surprising that he started playing for a win. Now Black has an extra piece and should win. } 31... Be6 32. f4 { First choice of the engine. } 32... Rb8 33. f5 { First choice of the engine. } 33... Qc5 34. Qxc5+ Nxc5 35. fxe6 fxe6 36. gxh5 { First choice of the engine. } 36... Rc8 37. c4 Ke7 38. Rd1 Rc7 39. Kg1 Nxa4 40. Ra1 Nb2 { I was kinda lucky we have reached such a position where I can't lose. But I shouldn't be able to win, either. } 41. Rxa5 Nxc4 42. Rc5 Ne3 43. Rxc6 Rxc6 44. Bxc6 h6 45. Be4 Kf6 46. Kf2 Nc4 47. Bh7 Kg5 48. Bg8 Kf6 { Here he offered me draw several times, but I refused since I can push forever. We shuffled for quite some time now. } 49. Kf3 Nd6 50. Kf4 Nf5 51. Bh7 Nd6 52. h3 e5+ 53. Kg4 Nf7 54. Bg6 Ng5 55. Bc2 Ne6 56. Bg6 Nf4 57. Bc2 Nd5 58. Bg6 Ke6 59. Bf5+ Kd6 60. Bb1 Ne7 61. Kf3 Kd5 62. Ke3 Ke6 63. Ke4 Kf6 64. Kf3 Nf5 65. Kg4 Ne3+ 66. Kf3 Nd5 67. Kg4 Nf4 68. Bh7 Ke6 69. Bb1 Kd5 70. h4 Ke6 71. Bf5+ Kf6 72. Bc2 Nd5 73. Bh7 Kg7 74. Bb1 Kf6 75. Bh7 Ne7 76. Bb1 Ke6 77. Be4 Kd6 78. Kf3 Ng8 79. Bg6 Nf6 80. Ke3 Kd5 81. Bf7+ Kd6 82. Bg6 Ke6 83. Kf3 Kd5 84. Ke3 e4 85. Kf4 Kd4 86. Bxe4 { This wasn't at all trivial, but my opponent defended well and now the game should have ended in a draw. } 86... Nxe4 87. Kf5 Kd5 88. Kg6 Ke6 89. Kxh6 Kf7 { I realized I have one last trick in the position, so decided to try it out. } 90. Kh7 Nc5 91. h6?? { Exactly what I was hoping for. Now I manage to deliver checkmate with a knight against the king in the corner. } (91. Kh6) (91. Kh8 { Both lead to a draw. }) 91... Ne6 92. h5 Ng5+ 93. Kh8 Kf8 94. h7 Nf7# { A very weird and lopsided game. After it, my opponent offered me a rematch and I accepted, thinking that there is no way an engine user would actually lose. Well, I was in for a nasty surprise... } 0-1
