It is one of the best examples of how dumb cheaters operate and what happens when their every move correlates to the engine. I was so sure my opponent was cheating that I even wrote to him "nice cheating" after the game and reported him. Needless to say, he got banned instantly. } 1. d4 g6 2. c4 Bg7 3. Nf3 d6 4. Nc3 e5 5. e4 Nc6 6. d5 Nd4 7. Be2 Bg4 8. O-O Bxf3 9. Bxf3 Ne7 10. Be3 O-O 11. Be2 c5 12. f3 f5 13. Rb1 a5 14. b3 Kh8 15. Kh1 Ng8 16. Bd3 { I will not comment on the game so far because the structure was very closed, but starting from this point, every single one of my opponent's moves correlates to one of the first 3-4 engine lines. } 16... Qh4 17. g3 Qh3 18. exf5 gxf5 19. Bxd4 { This is a very counterintuitive idea for a human, but my opponent had a specific idea in mind. } 19... cxd4 20. Nb5 { I completely didn't expect this. } (20. Ne2 { Was what I expected and I thought I would be just able to push e4 at some point and win. }) 20... Rf6 21. Nc7 Rc8 22. Ne6 Bh6 23. f4 { But this is a crown of his beautiful strategy and a typical engine move. It looks mad to allow me to play e5, but he has such a deep and unexpected idea - trapping of my queen - } 23... e4 { I remember I played this move and wondered why has he allowed me to get such a wonderful pair of passed pawns. } 24. Ng5! { This came as a complete shocker. Amazingly deep tactical idea resulting in my queen being trapped. I was streaming this game and was very titled and disgusted because here I realized I am not playing against a human. } 24... Bxg5 25. fxg5 Rg6 26. Rf4 { And there is no defence against Rh4, winning the queen. Simply unbeliavable. My opponent's average centipawn loss - 18. Mine - 41. } 1-0
