RHP Blitz

Unbelievable: (compare the last game on previous page)

OK, OK, I didn't play this but it might had been, had Black not timed-out:

5/5

Neato when there is no defense

And another "Opera game" in the Red Hot Pawn Blitz room with Black being some p1200. Question: will novices ever stop playing this bad version (3. ... Bg4?!) of the Philidor defense? Who keeps teaching them to play this as Black? From where do they get the idea to play this exact opening?

Na8!? for the win, not much of a game but the Knight there in the corner is quite cute.
