Really silly Internet game
I just started playing on GameKnot.com, which has correspondence games with a minimum length of 2 days per move. That was the time control for the following game, believe it or not. GameKnot assigns one an initial rating of 1200 and initially only lets one play against very low-rated players. That probably explains why I'm 27-0 thus far. This game raised my rating to a walloping 1612, exactly 800 points below my USCF correspondence rating. This game is even sillier than most, but the final mate is kind of picturesque, albeit no Dodge-Houghteling :

What made you pick GameKnot over, say, RedHotPawn?
Seriously, just stop publishing these games. Nobody's learning anything and the quality is so low it makes me want to vomit.
Well, he did say it was silly.
Bryan Pendleton: I was recruited for the chessgames.com team on GameKnot. I've heard of RedHotPawn but know very little about it.
