Do you know of any games here between opponents who are vastly separated in rating? (I like watching train wrecks too. 😛 )
A secondary question is: Suppose you see a move that looks like it will clobber your opponent. Then you realize that there is a subtle refuation of it that will actually gain your opponent an advantage, if only he/she can find it. Do you ever decide to go ahead and make that move, based upon a suspicion that your opponent is not clever enough to find the right response?

Not that I ever manage to find anything subtle in my games. Would be nice!
I can top that.
Game 554763
And may god have mercy on my soul. In "my" opening too... with a highly unsound novelty :-)

I haven’t yet learnt all the more subtle rules of chess but have heard that if your King moves into the same square three times consecutively it is stalemate. Is this true or is there a rule similar to this?
If claimed.
