A 'joke' study/puzzle

HOW DO YOU FIND THESE GAMES

I consider such things but I can only go what I have in front of me.

I do suspect something odd was going on but the game record is there for
all to see and the 'game info' does not say training game and it was rated.

That was not the worse (or best example) on here. I pulled that at random.

It's all good fun.

I remember a joke like this:



hint: it said "mate in 1" on the white king's tombstone.

Black gave odds of both Rooks
White mates in 4

Mate in 3

These aren't even hard. You guys are getting slow.

Does that mean he can "castle" both sides?
